“Paws” to Remember: A Pet loss Support Group
Losing a companion animal may be extremely painful. Animal lovers often feel very alone after the loss of a beloved pet. Companion animals are so much more than pets; they are life affirming, and offer enduring, unconditional love and affection. Sadly, our culture trivializes pet loss and tends to shame people for having intense attachments to their animals. This underscores the need for professional pet loss support. I do understand and you are not alone.
This group meets once a month. Please call Julie for more information
