"Grief is about love and our animal companions often show us some of the most unconditional love we could ever experience" —David Kessler, author & grieving expert.
The purpose of this group is to offer a calm, safe and nonjudgmental place to help grieving pet parents discuss the difficult emotions related to losing a pet. Whether your beloved companion had fur, wings, scales or fins, you will be together with others that know the sometimes indescribable pain of pet loss. If you would like, please bring a photo or other memento of your cherished animal/s.
