Grief Coping & Support

If you have recently lost your furry love, it can leave a gaping hole in your heart and leave you feeling an insurmountable amount of pain and sorrow.
Sometimes our friends or families don't quite understand how deep a love with an animal can truly go. For many of us, they are our children. They eat with us, sleep with us, greet us when we come home, lick our faces, follow us everywhere, brighten the darkest of moods, and provide infinite joy and laughter - all without any judgment. It's just the purest love on earth.

When they pass away, many people feel alone and gutted. Patrick Cole is here to listen and provide some great thoughts of wisdom, reading materials, and more. If you'd like to bring your pet's ashes, he can also bless them for you. Please join us and know your pain does not need to be recent. Everyone is welcome to offer and receive comfort. You are welcome to join us for one session or all seasonal sessions as well. No one understands loss better than those who have lost.

Let's lift one another up, honor and remember our furry loved ones.

These sessions are free to the community and will be offered seasonally. Grieving children are also welcome. Tuesday, 9/19
