2019 Winter Courses for English Language Learners

Grief & Loss of A Companion Animal When a companion animal’s life ends, it is very understandable and normal for us to grieve and suffer a unique bereavement. Often, we feel alone and isolated as grieving a beloved companion animal is not always understood by others or accepted in our society. We want you to know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE and that grieving your companion animal is NORMAL!! If your heart is heavy with grief, either from a recent, past or future loss, please join us for the day where we will: • Share stories and honor our beloved companion animal • Learn about grief, how it affects us and ways of coping with our

grief • Connect with others who are on a grief journey and know that we

are not alone

To register, or for more information, please contact Lyndell Drever @ 780-608-6337 or
