6.7.25 | When Death Comes

Saying goodbye to a beloved animal is never easy. The decision to euthanize—no matter how compassionate—can feel overwhelming. In the midst of deep emotion, it can be difficult to see clearly or know what’s needed in the moment. In our partnership with The Animal Soul, we’ve learned how essential it is to prepare—emotionally, spiritually, and practically—for the inevitability of death. Even when it comes suddenly, there are ways to honor the experience, care for your own heart, and support your family through the transition.

Being intentional about your choices, and allowing yourself time to be present with your animal—both before and after death—can be a profoundly healing part of the journey. The more we understand the quiet rituals surrounding euthanasia and cremation, the more capacity we have to walk through grief with clarity, compassion, and reverence.

We invite you to join us for a special gathering with Jordan Darnall of The Animal Soul, formerly Delaware Pet Cremation. Jordan brings years of experience working with families during one of life’s most tender passages: the moment when a deeply cherished bond begins to move beyond this world. This event offers space for reflection, questions, and community support in the face of loss—and the love that remains.
