Richard Mercer facilitates a pet loss support group for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, where he helps those working through their grief. Through his time working with those struggling to process and move forward, Richard has learned how to guide people along their journey. He realizes and stresses that everyone heals differently, and on varying timelines. Certain practices, however, can typically be beneficial for most – such as looking at how we frame the memories of our dogs for the past and future. These pet loss support groups can also provide a crucial sense of community when people can feel alone.
