26. Grieving the Loss of Pets | A Conversation with Veterinarian Dr. Kelly Slattery


Listen Later

In this week's conversation, we speak with Dr. Kelly Slattery of Home & Shore Vet about grief in specific context to the non-human members of our families.

Grief and losing a loved one, human or non-human, is something nearly all of us have experienced and we feel the topic of grief is a really important one to cover and one that is often shied away from because, well, it's a tough subject.

But Kelly walked with us through this whole conversation with grace and a deep understanding of the beautiful bond we have with our pets, and why it's so hard to lose them. We're so grateful to Kelly for her kindness and the grounded space she created for this episode.

We are dedicating this episode to not only the loved ones we have lost, but to the people who are going through a tough time. We hope you feel seen and heard and maybe not so alone.

Lots of Love.
