Description:
On Sunday, September 14th at 11 a.m., the third
annual Pet Memorial Sunday Ceremony will be held by Baltimore Humane Society
Memorial Park in observance of National Pet Memorial Day. The ceremony
is for anyone who has experienced the loss of a beloved pet, no matter when or
where the loss occurred.
The sense of grief when a pet passes can be overwhelming,
but seldom is there opportunity to mourn and express that grief. Baltimore Humane Society takes the loss of a
pet seriously and is inviting the public to the third annual Pet Memorial
Sunday ceremony that will honor and express gratitude to all companion pets
that have passed away.
Andrew Mazan, Baltimore Humane Society Memorial Park Director
and certified bereavement counselor, will lead the ceremony and speak on the “The Spiritual and Physical Bond
Connection.” “Grief Response to Pet Loss” will be addressed
by Carol Williamson Jenkins, Bereavement Counselor from The
Counseling Center at Stella Maris, Inc.
Dr. Mary Zink, DVM, Baltimore Humane Society Veterinary Director, will
speak on "Letting Go Without Guilt." Members from Dulaney Flute Ensemble
will play during the flower ceremony.
All our pets create lasting memories. This ceremony will be
an opportunity to remember and celebrate those loving bonds. It is part of the mission of Baltimore Humane
Society to treat all beings with compassion and to treat the passing of pets
with the same respect given to any family member.
Friends and family are also welcome. Anyone
attending is asked to bring a photo of their pet to put on display during the
ceremony and a flower to place in their honor.
They are also being asked to RSVP with the name or names of pets they’d
like read aloud at the ceremony.
