Thank you to everyone who attended our first Pet Remembrance Service today.

To quote Helen Keller, "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose; All that we have loved deeply becomes a part of us."

Holding our faithful friends up in remembrance is an honor and sharing our memories a comfort.

"When we think of those companions who travelled by our side down life's road, let us not say with sadness that they left us behind, but rather say with gently gratitude that they once were with us."- anonymous

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it can affect every part of your well-being, including your mental health. Whether your loss is recent or years ago, what you're feeling matters.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of everything else. That might mean talking to someone, leaning on family and friends, or simply giving yourself the space to process.

If you or someone you love is navigating loss, know that support is always available. You're not alone.
