Pet Loss Grief Support for Seniors

There is a special intimacy in facing old age or failing health together with your pet, and a particularly significant impact on your life when you lose a treasured pet late in life. For many seniors, pets can be the sole motivation for exercise, the chief reason to keep a daily routine, and a principal source of companionship. Because of my experience working with extended families and my background as a volunteer at Capital Caring Hospice with their Pet Peace of Mind Program, I understand and appreciate the unique bond that seniors have with their pets.
