SCCHA Member Meeting 6:30pm at the Clubhouse

Nov 19, 2019

Guest speaker Janet Childs will present on grief and ways to respond- in a very gentle and caring way. She has worked with thousands of people who have experienced loss- human and/or pet.

Many of its share an intense love and bond with our animal companions. For us, a pet is not “just a dog”, “just a cat”, or “just a horse”, but rather a beloved member of our family, bringing companionship, fun, and joy to our lives. Our beloved fur-babies can add structure to our day, keep us active and social, help us overcome setbacks and challenges in life, and even provide a sense of meaning or purpose. So, when a cherished animal companion dies, it’s normal to feel racked by grief and loss.

Since 1970, Janet Childs, Director of Education, Centre for Living with Dying, has been actively providing crisis intervention counseling and education focusing on the dynamics of loss, illness, crisis and grief. As a founding member of the Centre for Living with Dying, Janet has worked with thousands of individuals, groups and professionals dealing with traumatic loss and death of a loved one…pets included.

Bring friends, non-members are always welcome!
