What are the
Pet Loss & Divine Healing Small SupportGroups

Faith, Guidance, and Support

MEANINGFUL & COMPASSIONATE CONVERSATIONS TO REPLENISH & RESTORE HOPE TO YOUR HEART

Each small group is designed with you in mind. In your small group, you'll find a safe place to share what's really going on in your head and heart with fellow grieving pet parents. Experience people who understand you and what you're going through with guidance, support, and encouragement every step of the way.

Learning, Growing, and Legacy Building

LEARNING & GROWING THROUGH YOUR PET LOSS GRIEF JOURNEY

Your priceless pet loss small group will be a place to learn, grow, and heal through the pain of your loss while honoring your relationship with your loved one. Make healthy decisions that impact your grief journey, and be inspired to lean into your self-leadership skills. Preserve precious memories from your heart that will stand the test of time, keeping your beloved pet's memory and legacy alive forever.

Hiking Friends

Honoring, Healing, and Transformational

NON-JUDGEMENTAL PLACE TO BE HEARD, UNDERSTOOD, VALUED, AND RESPECTED JUST AS YOU ARE...

Your grief, mourning, and celebration of a once-lived life are vitally important as you move forward toward healing your heart with dignity, perseverance, and grace. Expressing unspoken words can bring healing to your heart: Release those words of love and affection, gratitude, and maybe even apologies you wish you had said. These small group environments create opportunities to pour out all those unexpressed emotions, helping you find peace, purpose, and perseverance.

Reflection, Resilience, and Self-Leadership 

REFLECT & CREATE YOUR HEALTHY GRIEVING JOURNEY AT YOUR OWN PACE

Come and stay as long as you'd like. You'll be amazed at what you discover through the power of your pet loss support small group. Join when you're ready and have the luxury of knowing you are not alone. You are in charge of your own pace and time. Your small group will help structure the intense grief emotions, making them more manageable and understandable. It's a meaningful way to navigate your grief and healing journey at your own pace. And please remember, I'm here for you if you desire additional support with one-on-one sessions.

FAQ’s

Q: If I am seeking additional support, would it be possible for me to join a small group while also having individual sessions with you?

Q: What will I receive from being a part of a Pet Loss and Divine Healing Small Group?

A: Absolutely. You're invited to take full advantage of the benefits of having your small group community's built-in support system and schedule a private session with me whenever you wish.

Q: How long is the commitment to join a small group? Are the groups short term or ongoing?
 

A: I have designed these small groups to meet you exactly where you are on your journey in navigating and coping with pet loss grief. Some groups are ongoing, while others focus on specific topics and last between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the curriculum I have created to support you and encourage personal growth within each topic. Some pet parents find comfort in having a regular weekly meeting on their calendar, while others prefer to address their needs and have a safe space to return to during difficult moments in their healing process.

A: If you're looking for a small and intimate community of healthy support, guidance, accountability, and a holistic approach to making healthy and wise decisions as you grieve and mourn the loss of your beloved pet, lean into your personal strengths as you find perseverance and purpose through your pet loss journey, then you are in the right place.

​

My answer is the classic one: You will get what you put into your group. 

​

Each fellow grieving pet parent is on this journey with you. They have a deep desire and are committed to learning, growing, and healing their hearts in a healthy, supportive, and compassionate community of like-minded people instead of being in a large group where they don't feel heard, valued, and understood or trying to get through the pain alone. 

Q: Are the Pet Loss Small Groups for dog and cat parents only, or are other pet parents welcome?

Q: Can I purchase a spot in one of your groups for a friend or family member? 

A: Absolutely. This shows your spirit of kindness, generosity, and compassion. This is a very popular gift, for sure. 

​

A: Absolutely! Our Pet Loss and Divine Healing Small Groups encompass all of God's creatures, whether they have paws, hooves, or scales. From horses to bunnies, iguanas to hamsters, and even turtles and lizards - every cherished companion is family in the eyes of those who love them.

​

All are welcome! You are valued, honored, and respected here as a devoted pet parent mourning and grieving the loss of your sweet one. We are here for you!

Certified Professional Coach, Pet Loss Grief Coach, & Author

As the mother of two incredible boxer boys, Spencer and Charley, I find their loving companionship profoundly enriching.

​

(Spencer went to heaven a few weeks ago, on September 11th of this year, 2024)

​

As a devoted wife and woman of faith, I've dedicated my life to helping those who need comfort and care during their most painful seasons.

 

Many people ask me how I can walk so closely with others during their time of difficulty when losing a pet.

​

I affectionately share with them that I could not imagine doing anything besides serving my fellow humans and their beautiful pets in this loving way.  

 

Life is precious. Together, let's honor what we've been graciously blessed with...our pet's lives with whom we love so dearly.  

“I finally feel valued, respected, and understood through my messy grief meltdowns. Thank you, Rachel, for creating a small group community to release my inner thoughts and feelings."
