20 Feb Pet Loss Support Group

A new six-week Pet Loss Support Group will meet on Saturdays, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, beginning Dec. 7 and ending Jan. 25 (the group will not meet on Dec. 28). Cheryl Richards is the facilitator.

Anyone who has experienced the death of a beloved furry, winged or scaly family member is deeply aware of how profound a loss this can be. The human – animal bond can be one of unsurpassed shared devotion, understanding, partnership and love. Saying goodbye to anyone we love is always a difficult experience. When the loved one is a companion animal, its grieving humans often feel isolated and lost, with the intensity of their grief going unrecognized or minimized by those around them.

This group is for adults who have experienced the death of their companion animal. Topics will include stories of love, joy, and loss, exploring and sharing methods of maneuvering through the grieving journey and examining how the human – animal connection has enriched our lives. To pre-register and for more information, call 802-257-0775.
