Coping with Pet Loss
Losing a pet is losing a companion. Animals enhance our
lives in so many ways, that when they are no longer with us, the
loss that is felt can be insurmountable. Not everyone
understands this, and sometimes it's hard to talk to family and
friends when we are looking for comfort. The following
groups meet just for that purpose; to provide a safe,
respectful environment with others going through the same
thing.
"Bridges" meets at the Animal Care Center in
Rohnert Park, every Monday evening at 6:30 pm for an
hour. It is professionally facilitated by licensed
family therapists.

"Pet Loss Support Group," sponsored by REVMA
(Redwood Empire Veterinary Medical Assn.) meets every Tuesday, from
7:30 - 8:30 pm, at Dr. Robert Baron's office.
