A supportive space for adults to process the grief following the death of a beloved pet. Participants share experiences, learning self-care strategies, and explore ways to honour their pet's memory.
The death of a pet can provoke immense feelings of loss and grief. Many pet owners grieve quietly and alone, without the support of friends, family and community. For some grieving a pet often doesn’t quantify as a substantial loss, and those grieving are left to feel that their loss is insignificant compared to other deaths. Giving those who are grieving the death of a pet a therapeutic group setting allows for a safe, non-judgmental space to mourn this meaningful death with others who are also suffering.
Facilitated by Jennifer Dacre, Bereavement Services Manager at Chilliwack Hospice Society. The group will meet Thursday evenings once weekly for four consecutive weeks, starting October 9, 2025.
Pre-registration is required. For more information or to join our Pet Death Grief Support Group, please contact Jennifer Dacre, MACP, Bereavement Services Manager, at (604) 795-4660 or email [email protected]
