Meet Barry

A photo of me and our very special boy, Barry, who passed in 2016. To this day it’s hard to look at moments like this one without getting emotional.

If you’ve lost an animal companion and are having trouble processing the emotions, this message is for you. If you’re struggling, please join me and Stephanie Rodriguez, animal companion loss recovery counselor, for two webinars. You will get practical tools to aid in your recovery, and the comfort of a safe space with people who understand what you’re going through. Tickets available at the links below.

 

Disenfranchised Grief: Navigating Animal Companion Loss 

As a "Disenfranchised Loss" (one that is not readily recognized and/or honored by society), the death of an animal companion can leave you feeling isolated and invisible in your grief. ​

Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, we hope you'll join Cat Camp counselors Jackson Galaxy and Stephanie Rodriguez, GCCA-C, and find support in the company of others making their way.

This event is brought to you with the support of

Spirit Pieces Memorials provides amazing handmade home decor and jewelry infused with the cremation ashes of your dearly departed loved ones.  Keep them forever close to your heart and home.   An Austin, TX company.

Loss Before Loss:  The Anticipatory Grieving of Animal Family Members

Anticipatory grief is the experience of grief before the expected loss actually happens.

Preparing for the loss of a loved one is never easy. Join Cat Camp counselors Jackson Galaxy and Stephanie Rodriguez, GCCA-C, in this virtual webinar as they navigate the emotions and experiences common to those experiencing anticipatory grief to help you prepare for the final chapter of your companion animal’s life.

This event was made in honor of Haru, who lived in and left this world on her own terms.
