Losing a Special Companion: Resolving the Grief, Remembering the Good.
The death of a beloved animal friend, whether furred, feathered, finned or otherwise attired, whether a creature great or small, represents a very deep and significant loss to the loving companion. Your veterinary caregivers have been uniquely privileged to observe the beauty and depth of the bond between pets and their people, and are therefore very much aware of the pain upon the death, loss, or anticipated death of your pet. To help, the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association has made available this service.
The Chicago Veterinary Medical Association is a non-profit organization that promotes the health and well being of animals through veterinary care, Veterinarians, by their concern for and knowledge of animal health and behavior, help pet owners and their pets enjoy long and rewarding relationships.
The CVMA provides a Pet Loss Support Group called Wings. It meets at 7:30 pm on the first Wednesday of each month at the CVMA Office in Hinsdale.
There is no charge for the use of the helpline or attending Wings. These services are funded primarily by donation. If you wish to make a donation in the name of your pet, it would be greatly appreciated. We would also be interested in any poems, drawings, prose or any creative expression of the love for your pet. Please send these to the Human-Animal Bond committee at the CVMA Office.
