Losing a pet brings a grief that many people don’t understand, yet your sense of loss is real and can be profound. Because of this, St. John’s Reformed Church sponsors a support group for those grieving the loss of a pet. The program entails six different sessions, and participants may join at any time. The group is open to the public and offered free of charge*.

The sessions cover:

• Discovering healthy coping mechanisms.
• Identifying different feelings on your grief journey, and giving yourself permission to grieve.
• Honoring your time with your pet as a gift from God.
• Building up resilience and identifying those in your life who can help.
• Working through guilt and other feelings of "stuck."
• Learning to rejoin the world of the living with God's help.
