            If my client told me their pet dog got ran over and began to cry I would give them tissues to let them collect themselves. I would first let the client get out all of their emotions If they were to hold

 in what they feel they might want to go us. So I will need to be cautius what I ask next.

After I woul let them collect themselves I would ask them how they feel. What did their dog mean to them? And what will happen now that their pet is gone? I will also give some feedback because I too had a dog that died. So I offer some closure to my client.
I will ask my client to think of ways that this hiccup in life can negatively and positively effect them? I will also give my client some coping methods so they won't want to feel the need to relapse.

            Death affects everyone differently, so you have first identified how it is affecting your client. If you see it’s having a negative impact on them I would be worried that they would relapse. So I would make sure my client knows that its not just them its happening to and what they need to do to stay abstinent in recovery. If they need to talk about there lost I would be there for them as an outlet.
