W
hen your beloved animal companion dies, you feel so many emotions: sadness, anger, guilt, emptiness, all mixed with love. You feel sure your heart will break, that life will never be the same. No matter how many years an animal shares its life with you, it never seems long enough. It seems all too brief. Brief yet everlasting all at the same time. The love you and your animal companion shared never dies. It lives on in your heart. This heart-to-heart connection gently embraces your soul forever.

Our Grief Support Volunteers

Support Line:
Coordinated by volunteer and co-founder of Monty’s Home, Eula Crispell, the support line for Monty’s Home has lots of referral and reference information. With experience as an RN in hospice care centers, Eula extends an empathetic and sympathetic ear to ease and help with difficult times.

Support Groups:
Facilitating our pet loss support groups Rev. Mary Catherine (Kitty) Bass, an ordained Unitarian Universalist Association community minister and animal chaplain offers non-denominational guidance through the difficult times and decisions faced by companion animal owners. Understanding the ancient human-animal bond Kitty helps attendees work through the grief associated with the passing of a beloved companion. There is never a charge for support group meetings, but we gratefully accept donations.
