Community Schedule

**Join us for a special livestream roundtable in celebration of Jasper’s newest support groups dedicated to K9, service animal, and emotional support animal loss.** Working dogs give their all — offering safety, guidance, comfort, and companionship unlike any other. When they’re gone, the grief can be especially complex, touching identity, independence, and daily life. This conversation will explore what it means to lose a service or emotional support animal, how to honor their legacy, and ways to navigate the unique layers of this kind of loss. Our roundtable will feature: - Bobbie, a Jasper member who lost her beloved service dog Stetson and continues to honor his legacy through advocacy. - Julie, a service dog trainer and advocate, who will share insight into the profound relationship between handlers and their dogs. - Grant, Jasper’s grief specialist, offering guidance on how to process this specific kind of loss. - Britta, founder of Jasper, sharing why this initiative is so close to our mission and hearts. At Jasper, our mission is to support anyone navigating grief—creating a safe, stigma-free space to heal, connect, and be understood. This event marks an important step in honoring the extraordinary dogs who have served with love and loyalty, and the humans whose hearts they’ve changed forever. This event is open to the public, register and rsvp here: [https://go.jaspergrief.com/PartnerPets](link)

In Grant’s groups, you can expect calm, compassionate guidance rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). He blends expert education with open sharing—creating space to express what’s heavy, release it, and find solid ground again. Grant helps you reconnect to meaning, acceptance, and self-compassion through grounding techniques and honest conversation. Every session is about helping you breathe through the pain and remember you’re not alone in it. 🤎

Britta’s groups are rooted in realness. She leads as someone who’s been there—offering validation, compassion, and space to share openly without fear of judgment. Expect check-ins, honest discussions, and peer-to-peer support filled with empathy and understanding. Britta believes in connection as medicine; her groups remind you that healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means remembering with love while finding your way forward together.

Struggling with grief during the holidays after losing a pet? Join our online workshop for tips on navigating the tough emotions. The holidays can stir so much more than joy when your heart is grieving. If you’re walking through anticipatory grief — knowing your time with your pet is limited — or you’ve already said goodbye and feel the ache of their absence, this season can feel overwhelming. Join Dr. Jenn for a compassionate 2-hour livestream workshop designed to help you gently prepare for the holidays with intention and self-compassion. You’ll learn how to navigate both anticipatory and post-loss grief with grace, create rituals that honor your pet’s love, and find ways to make space for both sorrow and small moments of peace. ###### **You’ll leave with:** - Tools to emotionally prepare for holiday triggers - Guidance on setting boundaries and managing guilt - Ideas for remembrance rituals and ways to include your pet in the season - Journaling prompts to process what feels most tender - A grounding closing ritual to honor your ongoing bond Special Offer Included with Your Ticket: You’ll receive an invitation to a private, smaller community hosted by Dr. Jenn, where you can continue the conversation, access exclusive holiday resources, and connect with other attendees walking a similar path. It’s okay to make space for your grief and your love this season. You’re not broken — you’re grieving. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.
