🏠🦚 Go home. Two simple words can mean so much more when you don’t hear them anymore.

Grief moments can happen, and often do, due to the absence of something. The missed conversations and gatherings are the literal representation of ‘go home’ - but so are reminders from your person to be who you are, without question.

When these sentiments are no longer shared, it can lead us to feel lost. Untethered and alone. Which is why we want to tell you, just as we did to Blue, GO HOME. Try to find the pieces of life that bring you joy and comfort and lean in to them. You are still the person you were when your person was alive and we truly believe they wouldn’t want you to forget it.

🐑 This is Lee. Lee LOVES peanuts.

Side note: Lee loves peanuts so much he will take over feeding time until he gets his fill! 🤣

Editor’s note: Listen for Ophelia’s (our 🫏) debut solo. She hit the high note for a significant amount of time!

☕️ Monday Coffee Moment
Did you know that therapeutic farms programs are found ALL over Europe?

There are an estimated 6,000-10,000 therapeutic farm programs in the region. They are also known as care farms or social farms and are recipients of direct government/healthcare system support.

Conversely, there are only an estimated 200-300 here in the United States. The programs here are usually individually funded (for example, ours is a non-profit charity) with limited government or insurance benefits, as they are not covered by such entities on a regular basis.

It fascinates us to know that in so many ways our country is still behind the curve when it comes to mental health and resilience. Which is why we are so determined to make a difference and change it, at least for our immediate community.

We are one of a fair few available in the state of Utah. Yes, the entire state. We are so proud to be able to do what we do!

If you want to help us in our crusade to make grief and trauma support available through therapeutic animal interactions, contact us or check out our links. Donate, volunteer, or simply share/interact with our social media content. We help more people as we get the word out.

🥰 More micro-chicken chickies!

We found this mama, lovingly named Maleficent, hiding her sweet clutch of babies in a corner of pen/run. What we thought were 6 babies, turned into 7… then 8!

A couple days later, we found ANOTHER one with some chickies! Mamas are doing well, showing their little ones how to be live and do things themselves, and we love watching the process.

They take such care with each chick, showing them various ways to do the same things, finding what works for each one’s skills. We find the commonality this has with how people experience grief. Emotions may be felt but the way they are expressed comes out in various actions - the important thing is that we are willing to understand this and have compassion for one another when feeling them.

🫶🏽 For those out there, missing someone, we see you. Grief is such a personal thing and process. What works for one may not work for another and unfortunately that can add to the sadness already being experienced.

Truth - no one’s grief journey is the same. Once we can accept that, we can learn how to be there for one another in more meaningful ways. Compassion and understanding go a long way to helping each other feel less alone.
