"Just Get Over It--It's Only a Dog!
Healing when your grief is judged, shamed or dismissed
Seminars Sponsored by Guardian Angels, LLC
We will explore the phenomena of “disenfranchised grief,” where the relationship, the loss, the griever, or the method of grieving is not socially accepted or publicly acknowledged. Examples include pet loss; loss by suicide, crime or AIDS; psychosocial loss (due to Alzheimers or mental illness); loss by caregiver; losses by children and persons with disabilities; losses by same-sex partner, ex-spouse or lover; and loss of health or mobility. Bring stories from your own life and share your experience and the insight you have gained in your healing process.
