griefy circle for Volunteers and fosters

TBD 2026

Euthanasia and foster grief 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, 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.

pet grief journaling cohort

Monthly

Our pet grief journaling group starts a new writing session every month.
Here’s how it will work:

  • Once a week, I’ll share a journaling prompt inside the community and send out a short email

  • You can respond privately in your own journal or directly in the post under Writing Prompts

  • You’ll have the entire week to sit with the prompt, no rush

  • I’ll offer guidance and reflections directly in the comments when I can

  • At the end of four weeks, we’ll gather to talk about what came up

  • Soul Den members are automatically enrolled

We also created a simple opt-in for the writing group for non-members. It’s low-pressure and welcoming. You’ll get session tips, writing prompts for processing pet loss, and optional feedback—no commitment. Sign-up is easy and designed for your comfort. Click the “Join Without Membership” button to join. You’ll get your prompts the first week of the month.

I’d love to see you there!

griefy circle

Join our July Griefy Circles.

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.
💛 Delia

These events are FREE.

Erin Redline Art Hyperreal Custom Charcoal Pet portraits

Join us for an Instagram Live with Erin of Erin Redline Art.

Erin creates hyperreal charcoal portraits that capture the smallest details and expressions that make an animal companion unmistakably them. She’ll share how she became an artist, take us behind her portrait process from the first marks to the final reveal, and tell the story of how she reached out and created a portrait of my soul dog, Sammy.

You’ll also learn how to commission Erin to create a meaningful portrait of your own beloved animal companion.

“I believe every subject shares a story worth witnessing. Through hyperrealistic charcoal portraiture, I slow down, listen with empathy, and create from a place of genuine connection. My goal isn’t simply to draw what a subject looks like—it’s to honor who they are and create something that feels like their soul is looking back.”

Father’s Day tributes

Father’s Day can feel complicated after losing your soul pet.

Because when they died, it did not just feel like losing them. For many of us, it felt like losing a part of who we were.

The routines changed. The role changed. The one who needed us every day was suddenly no longer here in the same way.

But loss already took too much. It does not get to take away your title, your bond, or erase the love, care, protection, devotion, and fatherhood you gave every single day. No matter how much time passes, you are still their dad.

That’s why we’re creating a Father’s Day tribute around the theme, “Always a dad.”

Pet dads, grandpas, guardians, and those submitting on behalf of a dad are welcome to participate. 

Join the community. This is a free offering.

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.

When: Friday, April 24, 2026

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.
