Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering if the Furever Forest is right for you? Below are answers to some of the most common questions about our pet loss community—how it works, who it’s for, and what to expect inside.

Who is a good fit for the Furever Forest community?

You’ve lost a soulmate pet—not just an animal companion, but a best friend, a lifeline, a part of you
You feel like traditional advice hasn’t helped or has felt too clinical, dismissive, or shallow
You appreciate a space that blends creativity, reflection, and connection for healing.
You want support that doesn’t rush you, fix you, or ask you to move on
You value gentle structure, meaningful prompts, and a supportive community of kindred spirits
You are open-minded and accepting of diverse cultures, races, and spiritual belief systems and will not impose your ideas onto others.

Who is NOT a good fit for the Furever Forest community?

– If you’re looking for checklists, quick fixes, or a place to “get over it as quickly as possible.”

– You are in a crisis state after losing your pet and are looking for immediate help right now (if that is the case, please click here for additional resources)

– You had to surrender or give away your pet (although your grief is 100% valid, our group is not intended for this kind of loss).

– You’re on a mission to convince other people to adopt a new pet right away.

Can I join if my pet didn't have fur?

Of course! This is a community of animal lovers. You are welcome here if your pet had scales or feathers or spines or hair or fins or any other feature.

Can I join if my pet is still around but the goodbye is coming soon?

That’s such a painful place to be in. Anticipatory grief is very real—and incredibly heavy. Knowing that goodbye is approaching while still caring for your pet can stir up so many emotions: fear, guilt, helplessness, sadness. Please know you’re not alone in that.

At this time, Furever Forest is designed specifically for those whose pet has already passed. We’ve found that it may be too triggering if you’re still in the anticipatory stage.

That said, we absolutely want to support you when the time comes. I’d gently recommend signing up for our newsletter to stay connected—you’ll be the first to know when new resources become available, and we’ll be here to welcome you when you’re ready.

Sending you and your beloved pet so much light and love in the meantime. 🤍

Does the Furever Forest provide group therapy or counseling?

No. This membership is for educational and community support purposes and is not considered therapy or medical advice. But it is a great source of additional support for anyone who is in therapy, or if you’re looking for alternative options to help you navigate the loss of your pet.

What is your refund policy for the Furever Forest community?

For our Community Membership, if it isn’t the right fit, let us know within 7 days to receive a full refund.

We genuinely want our members to feel supported, seen, and at peace—because a community built on mutual trust is better for everyone. If it doesn’t feel like a right fit for you, we completely understand and want to honor that.

What is your refund policy for digital downloads and gifts?

Because our guides, journals, and other digital tools are instantly accessible and non-returnable by nature, all purchases are final. If you’re unsure whether something is right for you, feel free to reach out before buying—I’m happy to help you choose the best fit for your needs.

How is the Furever Forest different from other pet loss support groups?

The Furever Forest isn’t just a place to talk about your grief—it’s a space to tend to it in a way that works for you; through creativity, connection, and meaning-making. It was created by a licensed therapist who specializes in grief and anxiety—but also by a human who lost her own soulmate pet and knows how lonely that kind of love and loss can feel.

While it’s informed by mental health expertise, it’s intentionally not clinical. It’s rooted in community—because healing happens not just through insight and talk, but through being witnessed, supported, and truly understood.

We also believe that everyone grieves differently, but for all humans, creativity is in our nature. It’s one of the purest ways to access our emotions and move through grief—whether through words, images, music, rituals, art, or any form of self-expression.

And unlike social media groups, The Furever Forest Community is private and pressure-free. No algorithms or spammers – just real, compassionate support that meets you wherever you are, however your grief is showing up today.

Do I have to be "creative" to join?

Not at all. Creative healing here is about expression, not talent. You don’t have to write or draw anything fancy or at all if you aren’t comfortable—you’re welcome to just reflect, read, and engage in the way that feels right.

(just FYI, if you’re human, you’re already creative. But that’s a conversation for another time and place).

What if I'm not ready to talk about it?

Totally okay. You can start with one of my digital guides, explore videos on my YouTube channel, or read the blog at your own pace—there’s no pressure to join anything before you’re ready.

And just so you know, some people in the Furever Forest community choose to quietly observe without actively posting or attending events—and still find comfort, validation, and a sense of connection. That’s always welcome, too. Healing doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.

I don't see my question here.
