Pet Loss and Grief Support

This space exists because of Fly, and because of love that mattered deeply.

Fly was never just a dog, she was a constant presence, a source of comfort, and a quiet anchor through so many seasons of life. When she left, the absence was felt everywhere; in daily routines, in the stillness of the house, and in the places where her companionship once lived. What surprised me most was not how strong the grief was, but how quietly it had to be carried.

Pet loss is often misunderstood or gently minimised, even though the bond we share with our animals runs deep. They are family, confidants, and emotional touchstones, and when they are gone, the grief can feel overwhelming and isolating. Fly’s passing highlighted just how much space this kind of loss deserves, and how rarely that space is offered.

This support offering is part of Fly’s legacy. It is a gentle, compassionate space where grief does not need to be fixed, rushed, or explained away. We gather monthly, creating a steady place to return to; one that offers consistency, safety, and connection as grief unfolds in its own time.

Each gathering is supported by the presence of a registered psychologist, ensuring emotional care, guidance, and safety, while allowing the space to remain human, heartfelt, and deeply respectful. You are welcome to sit with your loss, to remember, to speak if you wish, or simply to be held by shared understanding.

There are no expectations here, no timelines, no pressure to be coping, and no right or wrong way to grieve. Just space, care, and the quiet reassurance that you are not walking this alone.

You are welcome exactly as you are. Whether your loss is recent or long ago, sudden or anticipated, this space exists to honour the love you shared and the bond that continues. Fly’s legacy lives on in connection, kindness, and the reminder that no one should have to walk this path alone.
