Grief Support from B+B endorsed providers
Losing a pet is one of the hardest things you will ever have to face. Blackbird + Bones exists because we know the depths of the bond, the love and the indescribable emotions one experiences when sharing life with a pet. We never set out to create memorial jewellery but after years of making nose prints into keepsakes; the circumstances in which people come to us are often during times that are emotionally turbulent and when their pet is in their final days or have already physically departed.
Below are people we trust. Grief counsellors and end-of-life specialists who genuinely get it, and who can walk alongside you when words aren't enough.
Stacey | The Liminal Companion
End-of-life and grief support for people and their animal companions
Stacey offers compassionate, trauma-informed support through every tender moment — anticipatory grief, euthanasia decision-making, home vigils, aftercare planning, memorial rituals, and bereavement support. Her approach is calm, person-centred, and shaped by a background in social work and formal death doula training. No one should have to navigate these moments alone.

Fiona Koenig | Fiona Koenig Counselling
Pet loss and grief counselling. Online Australia-wide, Newcastle NSW
Fiona is a qualified counsellor specialising in pet loss and generalist grief support that meets you exactly where you are. She understands this pain personally — the unexpected loss of her own cat in 2012 deepened her belief in how profoundly we grieve our animals, and how essential it is to have that recognised. Her approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and entirely client-centred. Whether you're navigating anticipatory grief, a recent loss, or the guilt that often follows end-of-life decisions, Fiona holds space for all of it — without judgement, without rushing.
