Pet Loss Grief & Support Group
A 6-week therapist-led support group for those grieving the loss of a pet, anticipating a loss, or caring for a medically complex companion.
Next group runs: January 12, 2027 - February 16, 2027
Losing a pet can be one of the most painful experiences we face, yet pet loss is often misunderstood or minimized by others.
For many people, pets are family. They are daily companions, sources of comfort, and witnesses to some of life’s most important moments.
When they die, the grief can be profound.
This group was created to offer a space where that grief doesn’t need to be explained, justified, or minimized. Together, we’ll create room to remember, process, and honor the bond you shared with your pet.
What We’ll Explore
Sharing Your Story
A space to talk about your pet and the unique bond you shared.
Honoring Their Memory
Exploring meaningful ways to remember and stay connected to your pet’s legacy.
Navigating Grief
Understanding the emotional ups and downs that often accompany loss.
Coping With Daily Life
Adjusting to routines, spaces, and moments that feel different after loss.
Guilt & Difficult Decisions
Processing feelings around euthanasia, medical decisions, or “what ifs.”
Community & Support
Connecting with people who understand the depth of pet loss.
What You’ll Leave With
A greater understanding of your grief. Learn why pet loss can feel so overwhelming and how to navigate it with care.
Ways to honor your pet’s memory. Develop personal rituals and practices that help keep their memory close.
Connection with others who get it. Experience the comfort of being understood by people who truly get it.
More compassion for yourself. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and there’s no right way to mourn a beloved companion.
This group may be a good fit for you if…
✓ You’ve lost a beloved companion animal, no matter how recent

✓ Friends or family don’t seem to understand your loss
✓ You’re carrying guilt, regret, or unanswered questions
