Grief Support

 

People often feel isolated and misunderstood when coping with the death of a cherished companion. Recognizing the need to provide grief and mourning support on an immediate and ongoing basis, Animal Blessings offers a monthly, free-of-charge Grief Support Group as well as both individual and group Memorial Services.

 

Grief Support Group

The Companion Animal Loss Grief Support Group is a safe place where those bound by the experience of the impending loss or death (recent or long ago) of a companion animal can come together to share stories, receive validation of feelings and concerns, learn about grief and the mourning process, and reflect upon the meaning of it all.

When: The second Tuesday of each month from 6:30pm-8:00pm.

Where: Heaven at Home Pet Hospice 1530 Monroe Ave. NW Grand Rapids, MI 49505

What to Bring: A picture of your pet (optional), a journal/writing instrument and an open heart.

Registration: Please RSVP by noon on the day the group meets.

Cost: While there is no charge, donations to offset costs will be gratefully accepted.
