Grief Guide Consulting Office in Old Town San Diego, California Wednesday Evenings From 6:30 - 8:00 PM PST, Six Weeks, Beginning September 20, 2023 Wendy Kessler, Grief Specialist of Grief Guide Consulting, and Chetta Levell, Pet Therapy Coordinator, are launching a 6-Week Pet Loss Support Group that will begin meeting in person at Wendy's office in Old Town San Diego, California, on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 8:00 PM PST, beginning September 20, 2023. This group is limited to 8 participants and pre-registration is required. The cost is $50 per session, $300 if paid in advance. For many people, pets are a family member as well as the loved one we go to for comfort, and so their death can be devastating. Furthermore, grieving the loss of a beloved pet can be complicated by a lack of support because pet loss isn’t always acknowledged or validated by our network of family and friends. If you are grieving the death of your pet and longing for more support from people who understand, this group may be the space you need to process your grief. If you are interested in attending, click on the link in the bio at @griefguideconsulting to schedule a phone call with Wendy for more info.
