Nobody Told Me!

Dr. Guy Winch: …that grieving a pet can hurt just as much as losing a person—and that pain deserves to be honored


Listen Later

We’re joined by Dr. Guy Winch, a licensed psychologist, bestselling author, and one of the world’s leading voices in emotional health. You might know him from his powerful TED Talks, viewed over 35 million times, or from his bestselling books like Emotional First Aid and How to Fix a Broken Heart.

 

In this episode, we talk with Guy about something so many of us experience but rarely know how to navigate: the grief of losing a pet. Guy explains why that grief can feel just as intense—or even more so—than losing a human loved one, and why it’s crucial that we treat pet loss with the same compassion, validation, and care.

 

He shares deeply personal stories, as well as science-backed advice on how to process our feelings, memorialize our pets, and let ourselves heal without shame.
