If you have experienced the loss of a beloved pet or are anticipating a loss, please join us for a conversation about this topic and find support available to help guide you. Unlike human loss, pet bereavement is not widely accepted and mainstreamed in our culture. Pet loss is not often validated or supported by others, leaving many people to feel quite alone. Our hour-long introduction to this topic will help you in your grief journey, one that is real and uniquely your own. Feel free to bring photos or mementos of your loved one. Marla Andrews has spent a lifetime working for animal causes, including almost two decades with the MSPCA. Currently, she runs Humane Hearts, LLC, working with individual clients and public support groups for those grieving a pet. Additionally, she works with animal caregivers in animal shelters, rescue groups, welfare groups, and veterinary hospitals, to provide support for those suffering from compassion fatigue. Marla is a Certified Pet Loss Grief Support Specialist, has training as a pet chaplain, and holds a B.S. degree in Biology and M.Ed. in Humane Education and Animal Welfare. Free and open to the public. https://essexpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/pet-loss-grief-support-3/
