I speak with Kevin Ringstaff from https://petcloud.pet/ about how to deal with the grief of losing a pet. So many of my friends have been dealing with this lately, and I thought talking with someone about it would help. Kevin chooses to spend his days talking about grief and pets and educating people on how to support themselves and others through the sad times that are inevitable. He is so kind and good to talk to, and actually runs support programs for people- for free! He also has a membership program that looks very valuable. 

 

"Through my studies and counseling over the years, I’ve learned quite a lot about grief. It’s safe to say that as a society, we all have a tendency to hold on to grief. It’s awkward and uncomfortable to talk about. We feel like we might be judged especially if we tell other people how much we are hurting because of our losses."https://compassionfatigueandburnout.org/ He also runs workshops for professionals who deal with death on a regular basis, for example veterinarians, frontline workers, mortuary workers, crematory workers (humans and animals). I'm thrilled to offer this episode to you, and tell you about these services.
