The loss of a companion animal, homed (pets) or un-homed (strays), is overwhelming for those of us who are profoundly bonded with them.
If you want to share your grief, lighten your heart by being in the company of empaths, or want to stand in solidarity with those who have lost their animal companion (homed or un-homed), please join us for the support group meeting slated for the 14th of August at 2030 hours Indian Standard Time.
