We often talk about how journaling supports mental health and healing—but in the depths of grief, knowing where to start can be the hardest part.

If you've recently said goodbye to a beloved companion, here are a few gentle prompts to help you put pen to paper:
• Who can you turn to for support right now?
• What does comfort look like for you today?
• List 5 ways you can be kind to yourself today.
• What brings you strength when you feel overwhelmed?
• What did your pet teach you about yourself—or about life?

There’s no right way to grieve, but however you process your feelings and emotions, know you’re not alone. ❤️

We're grateful to have been there for Indiana and his loving family ❤️
"We are writing to give our profound thanks to Dr. Kris and Kevin in helping our beloved Indiana across the Rainbow Bridge. There was a solemn quiet broken only by their kind words to us and our dog, and our own tears and whispered sentiments to him. I cannot fathom how hard it must be to bear witness to so many heartbreaking moments on a regular basis and would not be surprised if it made a person jaded, so I truly commend Dr. Kris and Kevin on their compassion and tenderness in Indiana's final moments.

As a whole, despite the circumstances, the whole experience with Final Journey was wonderful. The phone operators were excellent to work with, answering hard questions professionally and compassionately, and offering information and additional resources based on the context of our conversation that we wouldn't have even have thought to ask about. Kevin was communicative about their ETA and they arrived as scheduled. Dr. Kris seemed to know exactly what needed to be explained and what could remain unsaid.

Thank you so very much for making this hard time so much better for all of us."

Today we honor the incredible bond between veterans and their companion and service animals — the quiet heroes who provide comfort, healing, and unconditional love through life’s hardest transitions.

For many veterans, these pets are more than companions — they are family, anchors, and a vital source of emotional support. To every veteran, and every animal who’s stood by their side — we thank you. You are not alone.❤️

Losing a pet is a deep, personal heartbreak—and when that grief meets autumn, a season already full of change and letting go, it can feel even heavier.

If you're hurting, try taking a quiet walk in nature. Let the crunch of fallen leaves and the cool, steady air hold space for your sorrow. Pause somewhere peaceful to write a note to your pet—what you miss, what you wish you could say, or simply a thank you.

Let the stillness of the season remind you: grief is love in another form, and it’s okay to take your time.

You’re not alone. We’re here to walk with you through the grief. ❤️

❤️Kindness to Animals Day, recognized on October 4❤️
Today, we honor the unconditional love animals give us—and the deep kindness it takes to care for them, especially at life’s end.
Kindness to animals isn’t just about how we treat them in life, but how we support them with love, dignity, and peace in their final moments. It’s one of the most compassionate gifts we can give.

Grief is something that we all experience in our lives. We sometimes are asked the question if pets feel sadness at the loss of their companions. There are some studies that show that dogs, just like humans, can show signs of grief and loss when a beloved friend is no longer present. We absolutely welcome your other pets to be present during the visit, and we have found this helps them have an immediate understanding that their friend has gone, and helps shorten the period of depression some pets experience after a loss.

Even though you didn’t make it to the end of my story, I will always have the corner folded down on your page…because it was one of my favorites.
