Grief counselor, Richard Mercer, with Sammy

Erie-based Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary held a special pet loss grief group on Sunday (Jan 23) for those who lost their beautiful dogs and cats during the Marshall Fire. The event included Connect and Cuddle healing time with our own beloved animal residents.

Included here are grief counselor, Richard Mercer, and co-facilitator, Jeremy Moore (standing). Also pictured here (with our Lily the pig) is Chris Clearday, a community member who spontaneously showed up to the grief group event with the sole desire of gifting both humans and animals alike who have been impacted by the fire with Reiki healing. Our Lily is on stall rest right now, not impacted by the fire, but Chris jumped right in with her healing touch!
