Pet Loss Support Circle Join us - everyone is welcome! Please pass this along to anyone who could benefit from this support. Next Gathering: September 11th, 2025 You're not alone in your grief...This is a space for anyone who has lost an animal companion – whether it was yesterday or many years ago – and still feels the grips of grief. This is a safe space for sharing that grief with people who understand and can relate to the feelings. In our society, the grief that comes from an animal companion loss can be diminished and dismissed. Please know, though, that the grief is real, raw, and beautiful and that it is so big because of the big and small ways they were integrated into our daily lives and our habits. Anyone is welcome to join, to gently explore all the feelings – grief, sadness, anger, guilt, shame, fear, numbness, relief, loneliness, acceptance, and so much more. In this group we will support one another by our presence and with our words.
