Party of My Life

Pet Loss and the Value of Grief Support


Listen Later

Have you or someone you know lost a pet only to discover a

deep void in your day-to-day life? We talk with Joan Corbett from The Bridge Between Pet Loss Support Group about the community of pet loss, grief support and resources that are available to help people through this difficult time of healing.

This episode was hosted and produced by Anne Morehouse,

original music created and performed by Caileen Viehweg. 

Additional Note: The Bond Between takes donations of food,

pet supplies, toys, unexpired medication and open bags of pet food.  Tough
dog toys, big dog crates, cat trees and scratchers really appreciated.
