Pet Bereavement Group (Free and open to all grieving the loss of a beloved pet)
The loss of a pet is a significant life event…one deserving of the proper time and attention to reach a healthy resolution of closure and acceptance. Missing your pet often results in feelings of intense loneliness and isolation.
Connecting with others who are experiencing the same feelings can have a profound impact on the healing process. Hearing the journey of others can allow you to put words around emotions that you had been struggling to describe adequately.
Support groups are an opportunity to help and be helped. Please join us! Your story may unlock something for someone else that will help them heal… it’s part of the beauty of how your pet can continue to impact this life significantly.
