The Cosmic Craft

This is the space you’ve been waiting for. For the people who were told their emotions are too much, that their grief is too deep, and the people who feel like they need to “move on”.

Here, you’re seen as a whole person. Your emotions matter. Your emotional resonance is valued just the way it is. You’re supported by the stars, herbs along the way, and working with the breath in a way that reminds you that you’re home ⊹˙∘•💫ᯓ

Have you ever secretly feared that you’ll NEVER come to terms with your pet loss?

Me too, and here’s what helped me shift my mindset.

- Journaling and scheduling a time to grieve so it didn’t sneak up on me. This is my number one tip on how to interact with the early days, when everything is still fresh. Schedulign time to really feel the emotions and let them flow through me, was a humbling experience. My body thanked me. My nervous system thanked me. My future self smiled when I fell into this practice.

- Astrology gave me a frame of reference. Granted, it took about 3 months to be able to learn from Armin’s chart from the moment he passed. But it gave me a starting point. I’m lucky to know there was a message in the stars, and I just needed time to download it.

- Integration with divination, herbalism, and gentle movement. It gave me a roadmap on how to move through this phase of life and answer the question of “Why is this happening?” It allowed me to ask instead, “What is this trying to show me?”

Here is what I know after working alongside animals for the last 10 years in vet med, advocacy, and care.

Pet grief is disenfranchised, meaning, as a society, we don’t make space for it.

👉 People say to just “get another one”

👉 People ask why you’re so upset

👉 Our HR policies rarely include pet loss in our berevement packages.

Therefore, we don’t really get to know this kind of grief, and choose compartmentalization instead of assimilation. It furthers the shame of feeling this loss to our core

Our animals are more interwoven into our lives than we sometimes realize, and quite frankly, it took me losing my soul cat to realize this truth.

Yes, I want this space to reflect the parts of life that are slower, more intentional, and more kind.
However, it needs to be said what kind of practitioner I am. My ancestors didn’t come here on Ellis Island for me to stay quiet. My voice has purpose, integrity, and determination.

I will not shame you with toxic positivity, but instead, inspire hope that we can come together, support one another, and rebuild something entirely new. I hope for a future of connection and compassion for ALL humans.

I am sorry if you are coexisting with personal and collective grief right now. I’m always here to hold space.

Intentions for pets nearing the sacred threshold.

You can say these all at once, or choose the slide that holds your heart best.

Our animal companions truly feel the love during this time of their life. It’s important that they hear that they’re safe and supported. It’s also important that their guardians create a sacred container to hold these emotions.

If you need pet grief support, I’m always here to help.

With love, Courtney 💛🌙🪞✨

This tarot spread is for those of us needing a reset, gentle guidance back to the self. For folks re-learning this new form of life. Answers the question “How will I love again?”

This is one of my most profound spreads yet, and one I feel myself coming back to again and again.

Most people expect grief support to mean sedation, distraction, or pushing through.

What actually sustained me over months of hurt from pet grief was nourishment and steadiness.

👉 My number one ally was Reishi, which became part of my daily rhythm after recalling a story shared by a local herbalist years earlier.

By month 2, sleep depth increased by a measurable number of hours, and emotional volatility decreased.

Before, my nervous system stayed on high alert from prolonged grieving. Pet grief is disenfranchised, so I didn't process how heavy it was immediately.

After sitting with Reishi regularly, resilience replaced urgency.
Nothing was fixed, but everything became more bearable.

If you're looking for herbs to aid in caregiving for your pet as they transition into the spiritual realm, my newest Substack will offer some insight. After a decade working alongside animals, I know exactly how much their departure hurts.

A vulnerable post on my why for centering my work on pet grief. The love I have for Armin is one that vibrates outward into infinity. Because of him, I’m able to help others.

Please share your favorite memory you’ve had with an animal companion who’s no longer on this plane. I’ve found so much joy in spreading these stories, and I love hearing them from you.
