Pet Bereavement
Our mission is to reach as many people as possible with compassion and understanding, so that no one goes through the pain of losing a pet alone.
The loss of a pet is so painful because we aren't just losing the pet. It could mean the loss of a source of unconditional love, a primary companion who provides security and comfort.
Another sensation you may experience is this: almost no feeling at all. Y
You may feel empty and numb.
Come and join us for support and to explore your feelings and how to cope with these.
