Today, I'm sharing a personal struggle – my beloved dog, Buddha, is facing health challenges, and I'm contemplating saying goodbye. The impending loss brings up past wounds, highlighting the unique bond between those with anxiety and their pets.

Pets offer a trustworthy love, a stark contrast to our struggles with self-love. As Buddha's situation unfolds, I reflect on the healing journey from anxiety, emphasizing the need to integrate our adult and child selves and connect our minds and bodies.

Grateful for the resilience I've built, I recognize handling challenges, like Buddha's aging, is now manageable. In closing, love has transformative power – for pets and ourselves. Despite hardships, we possess the strength to navigate uncertainties.

Thanks for letting me share this deeply personal part of my life with you.
