Coping With Animal Loss and Grief

This group focuses on the unique aspects of pet loss. I have discovered that many people suffer silently when their loss is considered a pet by society, but in reality, is a family member. This is often complicated by difficult decisions that a person can be faced with at the end of a companion's life. This group addresses the stages of grief, allows group participants to safely process all emotions, and to create a memorial in honor of their companion.
