Join us for a warm drink and a welcoming space to heal.
Our Animal Loss and Grief Support Group meetings offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where individuals can come together to share their stories, honour their beloved pets, and navigate the complex emotions of loss.
While participants are gently encouraged to share memories, stories, or photos of their pets, there is never any pressure to do so. Everyone experiences grief differently, and for some, simply listening and being present can be just as meaningful. Many find comfort in connecting with others who understand, and in realizing they are not alone in their grief.
