Johnson, is a Pet Loss Grief Support Specialist and Certified Coach dedicated to helping people and animals through her companies Pet Loss Light, online retailer Modern Pet Loss and Cats +Mountains (www.petlosslight.com). She is aBrooklynite at heart who lives with her pawsome cat Skylar and deeply misses her soulmate cat Nyla who crossed over the rainbow bridge at 21 years old. Erin has been through the process of losing a pet many times which promoted her to want to help others navigate this heartbreaking yet beautiful process. She wants to teach people that grief isn't linear and to normalize the deep feelings involved in pet loss for families.
