SUMMARY:CANCELED: Pet Loss Grief Support Group
DESCRIPTION:In light of local news about COVID-19\, we will be canceling this event.  If you have any questions\, please email events@alexandriaanimals.org. \n\n\nOur pets are important members of the family. They are devoted companions who give us their unconditional love and acceptance. For a pet caregiver\, the loss of a companion animal can be one of life’s most difficult experiences. When we lose a beloved friend\, it often helps by sharing our feelings with others who have also experienced a similar loss. \nFor more than 25 years\, Kathy Reiter has helped pet owners cope with their loss through the Pet Loss Support Group meetings at the shelter. \nKathy is recognized as the area’s leading authority on pet loss. By training\, Kathy is a psychiatric social worker with a specialty in grief and bereavement. She has appeared on Good Morning America\, CBS News and PBS stations. Kathy has also been featured in The Washington Post\, Better Homes and Gardens\, Good Housekeeping and other widely-circulated magazines. \nKathy was instrumental in establishing the hospice movement in the United States and was directly responsible for the construction of the first hospice in Arlington\, VA. While the Arlington hospice was being built\, Kathy’s beloved cat\, Prince\, was diagnosed with a terminal illness. While being experienced in human loss\, Kathy was now faced with impending pet loss of her animal friend. Kathy turned for help\, for resources\, and yet found none. Through her own personal experience\, Kathy came to realize the need for pet loss support\, and generously offers her gentle support to anyone who is grappling with such a loss. \nThe support group meets at 7:00pm on the first Wednesday of the month in the shelter’s Community Room. There is no charge to attend these meetings and all are welcome. \nPlease come a few minutes early or ring the doorbell when arriving  as we are closed to the public starting at 7:00pm. \nPDFPrintShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Pet Loss Grief Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Our pets are important members of the family. They are devoted companions who give us their unconditional love and acceptance. For a pet caregiver\, the loss of a companion animal can be one of life’s most difficult experiences. When we lose a beloved friend\, it often helps by sharing our feelings with others who have also experienced a similar loss. \nFor more than 25 years\, Kathy Reiter has helped pet owners cope with their loss through the Pet Loss Support Group meetings at the shelter. \nKathy is recognized as the area’s leading authority on pet loss. By training\, Kathy is a psychiatric social worker with a specialty in grief and bereavement. She has appeared on Good Morning America\, CBS News and PBS stations. Kathy has also been featured in The Washington Post\, Better Homes and Gardens\, Good Housekeeping and other widely-circulated magazines. \nKathy was instrumental in establishing the hospice movement in the United States and was directly responsible for the construction of the first hospice in Arlington\, VA. While the Arlington hospice was being built\, Kathy’s beloved cat\, Prince\, was diagnosed with a terminal illness. While being experienced in human loss\, Kathy was now faced with impending pet loss of her animal friend. Kathy turned for help\, for resources\, and yet found none. Through her own personal experience\, Kathy came to realize the need for pet loss support\, and generously offers her gentle support to anyone who is grappling with such a loss. \nThe support group meets at 7:00pm on the first Wednesday of the month in the shelter’s Community Room. There is no charge to attend these meetings and all are welcome. \nPlease come a few minutes early or ring the doorbell when arriving  as we are closed to the public starting at 7:00pm. \nPDFPrintShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Pet Loss Grief Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Our pets are important members of the family. They are devoted companions who give us their unconditional love and acceptance. For a pet caregiver\, the loss of a companion animal can be one of life’s most difficult experiences. When we lose a beloved friend\, it often helps by sharing our feelings with others who have also experienced a similar loss. \nFor more than 25 years\, Kathy Reiter has helped pet owners cope with their loss through the Pet Loss Support Group meetings at the shelter. \nKathy is recognized as the area’s leading authority on pet loss. By training\, Kathy is a psychiatric social worker with a specialty in grief and bereavement. She has appeared on Good Morning America\, CBS News and PBS stations. Kathy has also been featured in The Washington Post\, Better Homes and Gardens\, Good Housekeeping and other widely-circulated magazines. \nKathy was instrumental in establishing the hospice movement in the United States and was directly responsible for the construction of the first hospice in Arlington\, VA. While the Arlington hospice was being built\, Kathy’s beloved cat\, Prince\, was diagnosed with a terminal illness. While being experienced in human loss\, Kathy was now faced with impending pet loss of her animal friend. Kathy turned for help\, for resources\, and yet found none. Through her own personal experience\, Kathy came to realize the need for pet loss support\, and generously offers her gentle support to anyone who is grappling with such a loss. \nThe support group meets at 7:00pm on the first Wednesday of the month in the shelter’s Community Room. There is no charge to attend these meetings and all are welcome. \nPlease come a few minutes early or ring the doorbell when arriving  as we are closed to the public starting at 7:00pm. \nPDFPrintShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)
