About the Group:

This group is designed for people who have experienced, or anticipate experiencing, the loss of their pet. Whether your pet is gone through illness, old age, violence, euthanasia or was a lost runaway, the group offers a chance to share and understand the complex feelings of loss in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Feelings of sadness, guilt, and anger are respected and dealt with as members reveal their unique bonds to their animals and help each other through the stages of grief.

The group meets on the 1st Saturday of each month at the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. It is led by licensed clinical social worker Cathy Wright, and is appropriate for individuals over the age of 12, regardless of the type of companion animal lost. There is no charge to attend the group.
