griefy circle for Volunteers and fosters
TBD 2026
Euthanasia doesn’t only affect adopters.
It affects the volunteers who show up, who walk them, who train them, and who care for them at shelters.
I’ve decided to create a monthly gathering specifically for volunteers and fosters, a space to process the grief you carry.
In rescue and foster work, compartmentalization is common. There isn’t space to process every loss in real time.
But grief needs somewhere to go.
It requires intentional space.
If you volunteer or foster and want to be included, join the interest list and I’ll reach out with more info.
I will do my best to schedule something that works for most.

Finding purpose after pet loss
Ever wondered if you’re still a pet parent after the loss of your pet?
In this workshop, Judith will guide us through why pet loss can shake our identity so deeply, why it can feel hard to know who we are without them, and how to begin finding purpose again while still honoring the bond that never went away.
This is for the pet parent who is trying to make sense of life after loss, who misses the routines, the title, the caregiving, and the version of themselves that existed with their beloved.
You are still their mom, dad, aunt, uncle. You are still connected and your life can still hold meaning after loss.
Join us for Finding Purpose After Pet Loss with Judith.

holding space for all grief
Join us for a free community-centered conversation with Lindsay from Everkin Pet Loss as she returns after the devastating loss of her baby Jack in January.
This will be an open, gentle discussion about grief without comparison. Whether you’re grieving a soul pet, sibling, child, parent, partner, friend, or another meaningful loss, you are welcome here.
There is no ranking grief. No proving your loss is “big enough.” No pressure to share before you’re ready.
Just a space to feel seen, heard, and less alone in whatever grief you’re carrying.
Join our May Griefy Circle.
Griefy Circles is a space to gather, connect, and share with others who understand the ache of losing a beloved animal companion.
There’s no pressure to talk, no need to have the “right words.” This space is for you, wherever you are in your grief. Come check in, say hello, or just be present. Shared experiences like these circles help in more ways than you can think of.
In this session, we’ll:
Open the floor for sharing stories, memories, or simply being present
Hold space for each other in a way that’s soft, nonjudgmental, and real
Come as you are, messy, quiet, emotional, or unsure. You belong here.

understanding your grief
Judith will be covering the science of grief, why our brains do what they do, and how to begin working through grief in a more grounded, practical way.
Judith brings an evidence-based, science-backed approach to grief that helps make sense of what can feel confusing, overwhelming, or hard to explain. This workshop is especially for the practical griever, the one who wants to understand what’s happening internally, make sense of their thoughts and reactions, and leave with more clarity around what they’re experiencing.
