Grieve. Remember. Heal.
Losing a beloved animal companion is a unique kind of heartbreak. At Unleashed Counseling, we understand that the bond between humans and animals is powerful, sacred, and deeply personal. When that bond is broken by loss, it can leave us feeling isolated in our grief-especially in a world that doesn’t always recognize how painful pet loss can be.
That’s why we offer a free monthly Pet Loss Support Group, a safe and welcoming space where you can connect with others who understand. Whether your grief is fresh or years old, you are welcome here.
Now Meeting Virtually – New Time & Facilitator
We’re honored to introduce El Hyder Kim, LCSW as the new facilitator of the Pet Loss Support Group. El brings warmth, empathy, and a deep respect for the healing power of the human-animal bond.
Group Details:
When: The first Sunday of every month
Time: 12:00 PM (noon)
Where: Online via Zoom
Cost: Free and open to the public
To sign up, email [email protected]
What to Expect
This is not a therapy group-there’s no formal curriculum, no pressure to share, and no timeline you’re expected to follow. You’ll be gently guided through conversation, offered space to share your story, and invited to speak about your pet. Whether you’re ready to talk or just want to listen, you’ll be met with compassion and understanding.
Who Can Attend
Anyone grieving the loss of a pet-whether dog, cat, horse, rabbit, bird, or other beloved animal
Adults, teens, and older children (with a guardian present)
People mourning a recent loss or honoring the memory of a companion from years ago
Anyone who needs support, validation, and community in their grief
Why It Matters
You loved deeply. You’re grieving honestly. That deserves space, recognition, and care. At Unleashed Counseling, we believe in showing up for each other-and that includes showing up for the ones who’ve lost their best friend.
If you’re ready to take the next step in healing, we hope you’ll join us.
