## A gently held monthly gathering for hearts in mourning, hearts anticipating loss, and hearts learning how to live with love in a new shape.

When a beloved animal’s physical presence shifts through aging, illness, transition, or the quiet ache of anticipatory grief, the world can feel strangely thin. The routines that once rooted our days loosen. The silence grows heavier. And yet, within that tender space, something sacred often emerges: the truth that our love continues in ways both seen and unseen.

This monthly Circle is a soft lantern to hold during those moments.
Each gathering offers a compassionate, welcoming space where your grief is valid, your stories are honored, and your bond with your companion is met with reverence rather than explanation. Grief is not something to fix; it is something to companion. In this Circle, you are never expected to be “over it” or “okay.” You are simply invited to arrive.

## What to Expect

During our hour together, we weave gentle practices designed to bring steadiness, connection, and breath into tender hearts:

A grounding meditation to settle the nervous system and open space for tenderness. Optional sharing, held with respect and the comfort of communal presence. A compassionate atmosphere rooted in mindfulness, gentleness, and the belief that love continues beyond form. A supportive container led by Jaime Kuhn, End-of-Life Doula and Animal Reiki Teacher.

Whether you recently said goodbye, are preparing for a transition, or feel called to remember a companion long gone, this Circle welcomes you exactly where you are.

Your grief has a place here.
Your love has a voice here.
Your story belongs.

Who This Circle Is For
This offering is an open doorway for anyone who:
- Is grieving the death or transition of a beloved animal
- Is navigating anticipatory grief due to aging, illness, or hospice care
- Wants to honor and continue their relationship with an animal in spirit
- Craves gentle community support without pressure to speak or perform
- Longs for a monthly touchpoint that understands the depth of the human-animal bond

You are welcome whether your loss happened days ago or decades ago.

Love remembers.

## Why Gather in Community?

Grief can feel isolating, especially when the world doesn’t always understand how profound the bond with an animal can be.
In community your stories are met with compassion, your emotions find room to breathe, and connection offers a steady thread to hold.
This Circle is a reminder that you do not walk this road alone.
