| Gaithersburg: Joan Pedersen. Is the emotional pain you're experiencing from your pet's death
overwhelming? Let me help. With a background in spirituality and clinical
social work from the University of Michigan, I provide a holistic approach to grief counseling. I know how much a part of the family animals
become and how difficult their death can prove. I have helped many
individuals and families struggle with anticipatory grief during a
pet's illness, and to mourn their loss by focusing on letting
go, saying good-bye, and rituals of remembrance. My style is interactive,
compassionate and straightforward. Center for Renewal, 933-D Russell Ave., Gaithersburg, MD 20879, 301.527.1382,
