About the event
Losing a beloved companion animal can be one of life’s most heart-wrenching experiences—yet pet loss grief is often misunderstood or minimized. The bond we share with our animals is real, profound, and deserving of care and compassion when it ends.
In this special online program, Nancy Curotto, Psy.D., LLC will guide participants through the emotional landscape of pet loss. Together, we will explore why this loss can feel so overwhelming, how grief may show up in unexpected ways, and what healing can look like—without judgment or timelines.
