If you have ever lost a pet through euthanasia or death and have a hard time dealing with the grief that follows, the Pet Loss Support Group will be starting in Carbon County.

Meetings will take place the first Wednesday of each month starting at 1 p.m. on Feb. 6 at the Faith Alive Church on 678 Pine St. in Palmerton. This is a support group for people to share or to just listen not a professional counseling. Meetings had been held in the Stroudsburg area for four years, but organizers have decided to move it to the Carbon county area.

For more information or to RSVP, contact Connie at 610-377-3164 or Linda at 570-977-1042 or leave a message on the group’s Facebook page, Pet Loss Support Group.

Remember, it is “not just a pet,” it is a member of the family.
