"I contacted Brenda Brown at Grief About Pets after losing three of my dogs in a short time. Brenda was very
helpful in the process of learning to deal with losses. She is a kind and compassionate person, who truly cares
about helping people. It is comforting to have someone to share with and know they will listen and understand."

"Grief over pet loss is still socially and culturally less accepted than human loss. Grief About Pets can
really make a difference as you try to walk through this rough journey. I saw Brenda Brown several times
after my sixteen year old cat, Peach, died. Her support was helpful and made a difference."

As I suffered the most horrendous grief and depression for more than a year over the loss of my dog,
Sam, I met Brenda, who pulled me from that horrific place and helped me live a normal life again. She will
forever be in a special place, next to my beloved Sam, in my heart.

everyone enough. I feel so much better after our meetings.

"Chanda Joy is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. She has always taken the time
during her work at the vet office by sharing kind words, a hug, and even offering her presence to be with
pet parents during the end of their furbaby's life. I feel so lucky to have witnessed her support when my
own pet died. I cannot thank Chanda enough for being there when I needed her the most."

It's tough for dog groomers to grieve the loss of their own furbabies as well as their client pets too. It was
helpful to have Brenda from GAPs come to help facilitate a memorial service for us.

Chanda Joy and GAPs were a great support system during the early stages of my grieving process. After
the sudden loss of my dog, I needed a safe place to go ad be supported by fellow grievers. It's comforting
listening or talking to others who recognize your pain with no judgment. Chanda is an outstanding grief
coach who makes you feel welcomed and understood no matter where you are in the grieving process.
