In this episode I introduce you one of my very good friends Barbara who very openly shares with us how she has navigated pet loss. Barbara is the owner of the Self-Care studio, a counselling practice based in Australia where she helps teens & women from all walks of life to reconnect & love themselves. After finding herself dealing with the biggest loss of her life, her beloved pug Floss, Barbara felt a calling to step into counselling to help others from everything the grief of loosing her beloved pets have taught her. I refer to them as the three musketeers - Chester the cat, Floss the Pug and Mazey the Bishon. We talk about what it's like to loose a pet and the grief we as people, but also our pets also go through. Barbara shares with us what she went through with the loss of all three of her beloved animals and how each of them played such a pivotal role in her life. The loss of a pet is often harder than a loss of a person when it comes to support and Barbara shares some really helpful tips on how to be there for those who experience pet loss.
