我在科罗拉多州立大学兽医教学医院工作,担任那里的“生活变化”
项目顾问。
我们帮助那些由于疾病、事故或安乐死等原因失去宠物的人们,治愈他们的心理创伤。
我曾经有一个50多岁的名叫邦妮的来访者,她驱车一个半小时来到医院,想知道是否有医生愿意帮助她那只14岁的纯种黑色卷毛狗。
那只狗叫卡桑德拉,人们亲切地叫她卡西,她已经萎靡不振近一周了,似乎还有点儿神志不清。
那天早晨,神经病科医师简·布什告诉她卡西脑袋里有个瘤,随时都有丧命的危险。
邦妮知道她的爱犬身患重病后便心碎欲绝。
这时,有人把邦妮介绍给我。
“生活变化”
心理治疗项目常帮助那些举棋不定的人做决定,是让他们的宠物安乐死还是任其听天由命。
