We share the unique challenges of grieving pets, the unexpected depth of the emotional impact, and the waves of sadness that can feel overwhelming. We talk about the rituals we created to honor their memory, the struggle to adjust to an empty space in our homes and hearts, and the guilt and complex emotions that often accompany pet loss.

Crucially, we explore how we've navigated this grief without turning to alcohol.

This episode isn't just about sadness; it's about resilience, healing, and finding healthy ways to process grief while maintaining sobriety.
