Hearts Across the Rainbow Bridge: A Christmas Day Candlelight Memorial

If you are grieving the loss of a beloved animal, Christmas Day can feel overwhelming. While the world celebrates, the silence in your home can feel deafening.

"Hearts Across the Rainbow Bridge" is a free, 4[et0-minute virtual gathering designed to provide a safe haven for grieving pet parents. This isn't a lecture or a formal webinar; it is a "virtual living room" where your grief is honored and your love for your animal is celebrated.

### What We Will Do Together:

• The Lighting: We will light candles together in a collective glow to honor our animals' spirits and the light they brought into our lives.
• The Silence: A shared minute of silence to sit with our memories and feel the enduring connection we have with our pets.
• The Quirk Circle: An optional opportunity to share one funny habit, "soul-connection" story, or endearing quirk that made your pet unique.
• The Afterlife Connection: A brief closing message on how our animals continue to send us signs and remain by our side.

### How To Prepare:

• Bring a Photo: Have a picture of your pet nearby or ready to show on camera.
• Bring a Candle: We will be lighting these together at a specific point in the gathering.
• Come As You Are: There is no pressure to be "happy" or "festive." Wear your pajamas, bring a cup of tea, and feel free to cry if you need to. This is a judgment-free zone.

Join us to ensure that this Christmas, no pet parent has to walk the path of grief alone.
