Sovereign Health, a leading national provider of behavioral health treatment services, is pleased to announce the launch of a new article that’s now live on www.psychologytoday.com: “Why the Loss of a Pet Hurts So Much … and why the stages of grief are just as valid when your loss is an animal.” This article, written and edited by Ralph Ryback, M.D., Kristen Fuller, M.D., and Susan Logan-McCracken, shares how grieving the loss of a loved pet is a personal affair, and everyone deals with it differently.
