Do all dogs really go to heaven?

That question has been bandied about by the best of us for many generations. While we could likely spend an entire afternoon going back and forth about the theological and philosophical ramifications of that question, instead, we turn our attention to the profound experience of losing our beloved pets here on earth.

Noted author and radio host Mark Gregston has first hand experience with this. After his dog recently passed away, he knew he needed a way to talk about the passing of an animal that had served him so loyally and had been such an integral part of his family. His new book, “Where’s Stitch: When You Feel Like You’ve Lost Your Best Furry Friend” strives to guide children dealing with the loss of their pet.

Mark joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to share a few tips from a faith-based point of view on how to help your children or grandchildren work through the process of grieving the loss of your pet. Listen as he talks about holding onto the positive memories of our pets while moving confidently into the future.
