Grieving the Loss of a Pet: How to Get Through Heartbreak

When you get a pet, you know there will be an inevitable heartbreak when you lose them one day. But nothing can truly prepare you for the grief that comes with the loss of your best friend. Our guest this week is Judith Harbour, who is the Schwarzman AMC’s full-time, on-site licensed clinical social worker. Judith has completed the post-graduate Veterinary Social Work Certificate Program from the University of Tennessee and facilitates AMC’s ‘virtual’ Pet Loss Support Group. On this episode we discuss pet loss, dealing with grief, and how to best support someone who has recently lost a pet.https://www.amcny.org/pet-loss-support-resources/https://www.amcny.org/event/5th-annual-celebration-of-life-pet-memorial-event/
