SUPPORT GROUP FOR GRIEVING ANIMAL LOVERS
meets on the first Saturday of every month from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m.
in Conference Room 1 at:

Hospice of the Valley
1510 East Flower Street
Phoenix, Arizona 85014

Purpose
The Pet Grief Support Group offers a safe, confidential, structured place where animal lovers bound by the experience of loss can come together on a regular basis to share their stories, get their concerns and feelings validated, learn more about normal grief and the mourning process, express and work through their feelings, and reflect on the meaning of it all. Unlike what happens in individual telephone, email or chat room counseling, participants in the support group have the opportunity to grow by giving help as well as receiving it.
