If Something Happens To Me:

A Pet Parent's Workbook for Planning Your Pet's Future Care

More than just worksheets, this guided workbook combines compassionate caregiver insight, practical planning tools, reflective exercises, templates and real-world guidance drawn from decades of hands-on caregiving experience.

This workbook comes from a caregiver's perspective — because only a caregiver knows what truly needs to be said, documented, and protected when a beloved pet depends on others for future care.


This is a self-study workbook. You don't need to complete it all at once. You may choose to complete the workbook digitally, print sections to write by hand, or combine both approaches in whatever way works best for you.

The BrightHaven Way
– 80th Birthday Legacy Edition Book

On March 9th, 2026, Gail Pope turned 80.
For more than three decades, she opened her heart — and the doors of BrightHaven Sanctuary — to senior, chronically ill, disabled, and hospice animals who had nowhere else to go.
More than 700 animal teachers passed through those doors.
They shaped a philosophy.
They shaped a way of seeing.
They shaped what became known as The BrightHaven Way.

It is the story of a woman who was willing to change her mind, expand her thinking, and learn from the animals in her care. This Legacy Edition book is available as a pay-what-you-wish download in celebration of Gail’s 80th birthday. Every gift, large or small, helps ensure that the lessons learned during the BrightHaven Sanctuary years continue to guide compassionate care for animals.

The Silver Cord Visualization

Inspired by a profound moment in BrightHaven’s history, this gentle visualization grew from founder Gail Pope’s experience with her beloved cat Sarah during her final hours. When Sarah struggled to leave her body, a powerful image of a shining silver cord brought clarity, peace, and release. This practice now offers comfort to caregivers supporting their pets through life’s most tender transition.

Whether you’re facing this moment now or preparing for it, the Silver Cord Guided Visualization was created to help you walk through it with grace, peace, and enduring love.
Includes: Guided Script PDF, Audio & Video versions
