Healing Hearts: Pet Loss Support Group

🐹🐢🐰🦎🐶🐍🐱🐸🦔🦗🦜

Healing Hearts is a biweekly, drop-in support group for anyone grieving the loss of a beloved animal companion. Whether your loss is recent or from years past, you’re welcome in this space of understanding, connection, and healing.

Each session offers a gentle focus on a unique aspect of pet loss — from navigating guilt and letting go, to honoring memories and adjusting to life after loss. Through open conversation, optional sharing, meaningful activities, and mindfulness-based practices, we create a supportive environment to process grief at your own pace.

No commitment required — attend as you are, when you’re able. This group is open to adults of all backgrounds and experiences with pet loss.

Cost: $15/session
To Register: Email sarahk@jfse.org or call 780-454-1194 ext. 240.
