🤍 You don't have to explain why they meant so much to you.

If you've ever missed your animal in a way that others didn't quite understand, if certain days still feel heavy, or if you find comfort in the little ways you continue to feel connected to them, you're not alone.

The loss of an animal can leave a profound space in our lives. Our grief deserves compassion, understanding, and room to exist without judgment.

Our Animal Loss & Grief Support Group is an opportunity to gather with others who understand this special bond and explore how love can continue after loss.

This month's topic, Continuing Bonds, invites us to reflect on the memories, traditions, ceremonies, and everyday moments that help us carry our animals with us throughout our lives.

You are welcome to come as you are — whether you feel ready to share, would prefer to listen, or are simply looking for a space where your grief is understood. 🐾

📅 October 19th | 7:00–8:00 PM
📍 Heart with Wings
4-680 Bayview Drive, Barrie
🎟️ $25 + HST per spot

Spots are limited, so please reach out to reserve your place.

The bond doesn't have to disappear for life to move forward. The love can remain, in a different form. 🤍

🐾 Grief is a reflection of the love we carry. 🤍

Losing an animal can mean losing so much more than a companion. We may miss their familiar sounds, their favourite sleeping spot, the routines we shared, and the comfort of simply having them nearby.

And yet, our relationship with them doesn't have to end with their physical presence.

The concept of Continuing Bonds invites us to explore how we can maintain a meaningful connection with our animals after their passing. This might look like speaking to them, celebrating their birthday, keeping a cherished photograph nearby, visiting a favourite place, or simply carrying their memory with us in everyday life.

There is no single right way to grieve, and there is no timeline for learning how to live with loss.

Join us as we explore this topic together at our next Animal Loss & Grief Support Group.

📅 October 19th | 7:00–8:00 PM
📍 Heart with Wings, 4-680 Bayview Drive, Barrie
🎟️ $25 + HST per spot

Spots are limited. Reach out to reserve your place in this supportive gathering.

Your love for them still matters. Always. 🤍

Our next Animal Loss & Grief Support Group at Heart with Wings will now take place on October 19th from 7:00–8:00 PM.

This month's topic is Continuing Bonds — exploring how our relationships with the animals we've lost can continue in meaningful ways, even after they've left this physical world.

Together, we'll reflect on memories, personal rituals, ceremony, and the little ways we keep our animal companions close to our hearts.

Grief can sometimes feel isolating, but you don't have to navigate it alone. This gathering offers an opportunity to connect with others who understand the depth of the bond we share with our animals. 🐾

📍 Heart with Wings, 4-680 Bayview Drive, Barrie
📅 October 19th | 7:00–8:00 PM
🎟️ $25 + HST per spot

Limited spots available. Please reach out to reserve your place.

We look forward to holding space for you and the animals who will always be part of your story. 🤍

What happens to the bond we share with an animal after they are no longer physically by our side?

The love we share with our animals doesn't simply disappear when they pass away. Their presence continues in our memories, our routines, the lessons they taught us, and the ways they forever change our hearts. 🐾

Join us at Heart with Wings for our next Animal Loss & Grief Support Group as we explore Continuing Bonds — the enduring connections we carry with our beloved animals throughout our lives.

This is a space to come together in community, share experiences, reflect, and explore the many ways we can continue to honour the animals we love.

📅 Date: October 19th
🕖 Time: 7:00–8:00 PM
📍 Location: Heart with Wings, 4-680 Bayview Drive, Barrie
🤍 Cost: $25 + HST per spot

Spots are limited to help create a comfortable and supportive space for everyone.

We would love to welcome you. If this resonates with you, please reach out to reserve your spot.

🕖 7:00–8:00 PM

WELL FOLKS, WE ARE BACK AT IT TODAY! ❤️🐾

After an incredible day Saturday at our 3rd Annual Henry & Friends Memorial Fundraiser, we truly cannot be more thankful for all of the love, support, and community we have around us and the work we do here at Heart With Wings.

🏡 Revel Realty — who had a whole circle of visitors sitting at their booth!

🚌 Muskoka Tail Walker — whose pink bus was a HUGE hit!

🐾 Trooper Pet — doing the MOST to get those nails trimmed! 😂

🐴 Heart Retreat — providing such an incredible service through Equine Assisted Learning.

🌱 AWAKE / Ashes to Earth — using patented soil science to turn cremated remains into plant-friendly earth, creating new life from remembrance.

💆‍♀️ Restorative Canine Massage Therapy — who had MANY willing test subjects ready to try out the massage table! 😂🐕

🍺 Barking Brew — bringing the b**r for our pups to enjoy, accompanied by a little pepperette “cigar” snack! Because our dogs deserve happy hour too. 😉🐾

And this is just a small glimpse of what made Saturday so special!

To EVERYONE who came out, donated, sponsored, volunteered, supported our auction, shared our posts, or simply showed up — THANK YOU. ❤️
