Losing A Pet Causes Some To Turn To Group Therapy

Susan Anschutz and Anne Johnson understand the kind of grief that may accompany losing a pet, and that's why they started The Human Animal Bond Trust, "a non-profit organization which exists to serve those who are anticipating, or have lost, an animal companion."

"With these animals they're so incredibly loyal. They're there for us 24/7. The loss is more painful in a way because it's not an ambivalent relationship. It's not like other people relationships," Anschutz says, which is why she and her partner run their free support group on a weekly basis for anyone who would like to join.

While this particular group is run out of Denver, Colorado, I think it's a great idea, and I wish more cities offered something like this! Would you join a group like this if you could?
