Support Groups

You are not alone!

We invite you to join the growing number of people who recognize that pet loss 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.

Support groups offer a remedy. 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 adequately describe. Identifying and naming those emotions is a key ingredient to gaining control over them and then moving from pain to peace.

Support groups are an opportunity to help and be helped. 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 have an important impact in this life. Please come join us!

The Children's Bereavement Center:

Creates an environment that allows children a new way to process the concept of death. Learning new skills for dealing with death will translate to future losses of their "human" family members and companions.
