In this heartfelt episode of Life With Grief, we’re diving into the profound, complex, and often overlooked grief that comes with losing a beloved pet. 

Inspired by my own experience grieving my sweet 19-year-old Bichon Frise, Princess, this conversation explores why pet loss affects us so deeply, the emotional impact of losing an animal companion, and the unique bond we share with them.

You’ll discover practical and soulful ways to cope with pet loss, honor their memory, and begin to heal—whether your companion was a dog, cat, bird, horse, or any other cherished pet. 

This episode creates a safe space to normalize the grief of pet loss, validate your feelings, and provide comfort through this tender journey.

Whether you’re grieving a recent loss or remembering a pet from years ago, you are welcome here. 

In this episode, you’ll walk away with:
🐾 Why the grief of losing a pet can feel so overwhelming
🐾 How pet loss impacts your daily life and sense of self
🐾 How to cope with guilt or regret (especially after euthanasia)
🐾 Ways to process and honor your grief
🐾 How to memorialize your pet and keep their memory alive
🐾 What to do when others don’t understand your grief
🐾 And so much more

If this episode resonates, please share it with someone you know who is navigating the heartbreak of pet loss. Let’s open up this important conversation—because this grief is real, and you are not alone.
