Blessed Tuesday, pet lovers.
I am so grateful to now be a part of the Faithful Friends team as a Spiritual Grief Counselor. I have gone through pet loss myself, so I know the pain and memories that come up when our pets pass on. This image is me holding my dear Annie, who is now gone a number of years. She is still in my heart. I think of her every day and smile every day.
If you are experiencing grief from the passing of your pet – whether it was yesterday or years ago – log onto the “Grief Counseling” link to the right of this page. My counsel is non-denominational and focused on where you are in the moment. I am here to help you move through your feelings and help you heal. I look forward to hearing from you. Blessings to you.

So happy to have you with us, Rev. Glenn! It’s tough to lose a pet. We’ve all been there, and it’s important to have someone to talk to.
Rev. Glenn, how nice to know you are here to help heal. What breed was Annie? Cocker Spaniel? How did she get her name? What helps you feel better when thinking of Annie?
Yes, my Annie was a beautiful Cocker Spaniel with a wonderful personality. We were a pair from day one. Her name? Me and my then wife got her on our first anniversary, so Annie seem appropriate, of course.
I smile because of the smart, silly companion she was. I eventually moved from Nashville to Phoenix and she came with me. I looked at it as her coming out to retire in the dry heat. She was and remains a blessing to me.
