26 (Th)—Pet
Loss Seminar-----7 to 9pm, Montgomery Hall, Johnson
County Fairgrounds (3149 Old Hwy 218 South) The bond created
when people open their hearts and homes to non-human animals
is a complex one, and the strength of the emotional attachment
can vary quite a bit from person to person. But, when illness,
death, or loss by some other means severs that bond, many
people describe themselves as being trapped and isolated
somewhere on the bereavement roller coaster. There is much
we can do proactively, to make our inevitable parting easier.
Our speaker will
be Dr. Jennifer Brandt, a licensed social worker who coordinates
the Bond-Centered Education and Practice Program for The
Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, which
among other things, recognizes, honors, and helps to enrich
the bond between animals and their human caregivers.
Please bring
one or two humane friends of your own. Sponsored by: Lensing
Funeral & Cremation Service, JCHS, Friends of the Animal
Center Foundation, and Iowa City Hospice, Inc.
