The loss of a pet can be devastating. For many, this is a loss not only of a pet, but of a best friend. Pets shared their lives, dreams, homes, and affections with us and because they touched our lives so deeply, DoveLewis believes they are deserving of our grief.

Grieving for a pet is a natural, normal, and personal process, and group support can be a helpful outlet. During each session, Debrah Lee, a licensed clinical social worker and the director of the DoveLewis Veterinary Well-being Program, will lead the group in discussions that will open up opportunities to reflect, share, listen, and heal at your own pace.  

Thursday, August 5 |  12-1pm (PT)
