Almost anyone who has experienced an animal family member’s death has heard about the Rainbow Bridge. While I know this story provides comfort for many folks, it can be a bit prickly for others. In fact, I have my own complicated emotions about it!

Some of my favorite signs of autumn bringing me happiness until real fall comes. Looking forward to seeing the critters prep for cooler days.

One of the aspects I enjoyed most about my animal chaplaincy training was the emphasis on creating meaningful rituals for animals.

It’s official: I’m an ordained animal chaplain! One of my lovely critters, pictured here, as well as my dearly departed animal companions, sat as my witnesses on the last Saturday in June while I was ordained.

I recently put together a flier listing pet grief resources for folks who are in any stage of grief due to an animal’s death 🖤 You can find it at the link in this post! ✨🐈‍⬛✨🐕‍🦺✨
