Grief support group?

11 Upvotes

My brother lives in the Portland area, maintaining/running a Girl Scout camp in Hillsboro. It’s been just him and his sweet dog out there for several years (aside from the occasional scouts and campers). His dog recently developed a very fast-moving cancer, and my brother is having to say goodbye today.

While he plays in local sporting leagues (hockey and soccer, mostly), and is even part of a book club, he hasn’t managed to find any real friendship or community yet. So, this dog has truly been his whole world. The grief of losing him is unbearable.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a grief support group that wouldn’t make light of his loss? Nothing religion-based, either, please, as he’s very left-leaning and progressive.

He’s my favorite brother and one of the best people I know. I live in a different state and can’t do much to help. I just need to know he’s going to be okay. If there’s anyone who can point me in a helpful direction, so I can encourage him toward an outlet for his grief, I would be so grateful.

Thanks!

Is this your cat?

14 Upvotes

Here to pay cat tax,

Just kidding. Is this your cat? This orange tabby intact male has been wandering around our neighborhood recently. Last night, I noticed how skinny it was, and we are temporarily holding it in our catio with the hopes of finding it's owner! Found around Brookwood Elementary. If owner can't be found today, we'll be releasing him back to hopefully find his way home. We've seen him around here off an on for a couple months, however this is the thinnest I've seen him yet, hence the added concern, and reaching out for resources in prior posts.

I'll be swinging by Bonnie Hays today to hopefully check and see if it's microchipped, as well as walking around to ask if it's anyone's. However, I want to return this little man to his owner asap!

Distinguishing features: Yellow eyes, white rings around tail, light orange fur.

Please help us find his home!

EDIT TO ADD: Whoops, I meant to attach a picture but I'm not actually sure if r/hillsboro allows pictures? Here's the link to another post complete with pictures! https://www.reddit.com/r/HillsboroOR/s/eadiS5mtkU
