Community Grief Tending Rituals
Virtual, Live Gatherings
Grief is a natural response to love—and for those who care for animals, grief often lives quietly beneath daily responsibility.
Community Grief Tending Rituals offer guided, compassionate virtual spaces to acknowledge loss, moral injury, anticipatory grief, and the emotional weight of caregiving—without needing to explain, fix, or resolve anything.
These rituals are designed for individuals and communities who care deeply for animals, including veterinary professionals, animal care workers, pet parents, and Loving animal-centric homes.
What These Rituals Offer
Community Grief Tending Rituals create a steady, energetic container where grief is welcomed as part of relationship, responsibility, and devotion.
Each gathering may include:
Gentle somatic grounding and nervous-system support
Guided reflection and grief-tending practices
Simple rituals you can carry with you beyond the gathering
Opportunities to speak your love, loss, or truth into the circle—to be held by the group’s shared presence
Quiet witnessing, collective care, and moments of stillness
Space for both spoken and unspoken grief
Participation is always invitational. You are welcome to share, listen, or simply be—listening itself is full participation.
Who These Ritual Are For
Community Grief Tending Rituals are especially supportive for:
Veterinary professionals and animal care workers experiencing compassion fatigue, moral injury, and burnout
Caregivers carrying cumulative or layered grief related to animals
Pet parents navigating illness, loss, or anticipatory grief
Animal-centric homes seeking grief-literate, somatic support
These spaces are for tending what is true for you—even if the events that shaped your grief have already passed.
