Strengthening Bonds: Pet Hospice and the Human-Animal Bond
Join us on September 14th, 2024, at 1:00 pm at Assembly of the Wandering Shepard for an educational presentation at no cost!
"Strengthening Bonds: Pet Hospice and the Human-Animal Bond" is an insightful presentation that explores how end-of-life care for pets can deepen the relationship between animals and their human companions. The talk delves into how pet hospice provides a unique opportunity for caregivers to express their love and commitment during their pet's final days, and the difference between Pet Death Doula work and Pet Hospice Care. It highlights how this specialized care allows for precious moments of connection, comfort, and closure that might otherwise be lost. The presentation also discusses how the hospice process can help caregivers process grief, find meaning in their pet's passing, and honor the life-long bond they've shared. By emphasizing quality of life and dignity in death, pet hospice is shown to be a powerful affirmation of the profound connection between humans and their animal friends.
Registration is not required, but appreciated to ensure enough snacks for everyone.
