Getting Through The Grief: Living With Pet Loss

Laurie McGrath, a rehabilitation therapist with experience in grief counseling, will facilitate the program. According to McGrath, "Pets provide some of the happiest moments of our lives.  They serve as devoted companions, giving us their unconditional love and acceptance. Upon the death of a pet, many owners experience intense sadness and feelings of loss. We hope this program will provide grieving pet owners with some coping tools that might help to ease their pain." 

Participants will learn about the different stages of grief and how they may work through their feelings of grief, guilt and loss.  This will be accomplished in a non-judgmental environment, in the company of others who have suffered a similar loss.  Participants are encouraged to bring a photograph of their pet to the seminar.

This seminar is FREE to those who wish to attend, but seating is limited. The seminars are held the second Saturday of each month, from 1 - 3 pm at the Mark's house next to Lollypop Farm in Fairport.  For more information and to register call 223-1333 x251 or register online now by filling out the online registration form.
