Bleeding Hearts and Forget-me-nots

After the rush of the holidays the grief of a recent loss can return, and that’s no different for pet lovers who’ve lost an animal companion.

I schedule this healing and nurturing event around Valentine’s Day each year to help mend the hearts of people who may have suffered a recent loss, or for whom an previous loss is somehow fresh. For the nine years I have been in business, I have scheduled the one-afternoon session to provide grieving families with help and resources to work through the trauma of losing a beloved companion. Those who attend are in the company of other families who know the gut-wrenching feeling of losing a pet. Families grieving the loss of their pet are welcome whether or not they have worked with Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation.

The session is free and includes a speaker. Grieving pet owners are welcome to listen to and to share stories of their animal companions. Any person who is having trouble coming to terms with the loss of a pet, regardless of when the loss occurred, is welcome to attend.

The session is on Sunday, February 16, 2014 at LaBella Bean Café in Bridgeville, 609 Washington Avenue, Bridgeville, PA 15017, just two blocks away from Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation. LaBella Bean will be closed to the public during this session.

So that CCPC may properly prepare and also contact you in the event of bad weather, please RSVP if you are planning to attend by calling 412-220-7800.
