Together with a psychologist, participants will explore how to deal with pain, guilt, and emptiness, and learn to help themselves and their loved ones. For many, pets become family members, sources of joy, support, and unconditional love. Their loss leaves a deep wound, and it is important not to silence this experience, but to learn to live through it gently and consciously. In the lecture, participants will discuss with psychologist Elizaveta Sergacheva how to prepare for the loss of a pet, how to recognize and go through the stages of grief, and what to do with the guilt that often accompanies farewell. This knowledge will help not only those who have faced loss but also those who want to support loved ones in a similar situation. The lecture will touch on an important and rarely discussed aspect: the fear of loss that prevents one from getting a new friend. This is especially relevant for people who have already faced the pain of loss and are afraid of a repeat experience. Our website features the current events schedule for St. Petersburg.
