Current Bereavement Support Services

Online Bereavement Sessions (facilitated on Zoom)

  • Bereavement sessions are facilitated by Nancy Osgoodby, LCSW. Nancy has 30+ years of clinical practice experience in mental health and crisis intervention, as well as a tremendous love for animals. Having had many animal companions over the years, Nancy has dealt with the grieving process on a personal level and developed a special interest in helping others grieve the loss of their pets.
