The Pet Loss Program
The purpose of this program is to help you deal with the grief caused by the physical ending of your relationship with your pet, whether it is due to death, disappearance or even circumstances that force you to rehome your pet.
If you have found yourself inconsolable after your pet died, please know that you are normal. If you've found that your family and friends don't seem to understand the level of your grief, please know that, too, is normal. Because of the unique emotional relationships we have with our pets, their deaths produce a level of pain that is difficult to describe.
This is a 6 week program. Each class is 2 hours in duration. There will be a reading assignment from the book, The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss, written by the founders of The Grief Recovery Method® John James, Russell Friedman and Cole James (Which will be handed out at the first class) and a homework assignment each week. Each week builds on the previous week. The key to your success in this program hinges on your willingness to apply yourself to the weekly homework assignments, which are designed to help you move beyond loss.
As in the Group Program, we have guidelines to preserve our groups safety and harmony. It is essential that there be no judgment or evaluation of each other. Great care is taken to not compare our pain and losses with each other. Grievers are not broken, therefore they don't need to be fixed. They don't need to be analyzed, criticized or judged. They need to be listened to with dignity and respect. You may choose to not share in the group, but you will be paired with a partner who provides you with a listener, a heart with ears. All that is shared is held in the strictest confidence.
The fee for this program is $250.00.
