The death of a pet can provoke immense feelings of loss and grief. Many pet owners grieve quietly and alone, without the support of friends, family and community. For some grieving a pet often doesn’t quantify as a substantial loss, and those grieving are left to feel that their loss is insignificant compared to other deaths. Giving those who are grieving the death of a pet a therapeutic group setting allows for a safe, non-judgmental space to mourn this meaningful death with others who are also suffering.
The group will meet once weekly for four consecutive weeks, starting September 11, 2024.
Pre-registration is required. For more information or to join our pet loss grief support group, please contact Jennifer Dacre, BA, BA-CYC, Bereavement Services Manager, at (604) 795-4660 or email jennifer@chilliwackhospice.org
This Chilliwack Hospice Society program is provided free of cost thanks to the generosity of individual donors and businesses in our community.
