Nourishing the Mother

NTM 518: Walking through grief with our kids and ourselves


Listen Later

In this tender and deeply personal episode, we share the story of saying goodbye to Julie’s beloved family dog, Ruby, after nearly 16 years. This isn’t just a conversation about losing a pet — it’s a raw and honest look at the wildness of grief, the silence it leaves behind, and what it means to walk through that pain as a parent, while still holding space for your children.

We explore the complexity of grieving while still showing up for life, and how loss doesn’t arrive in isolation - it often opens the door to every other goodbye we’ve ever tucked away.

This episode is for anyone navigating the quiet heartbreaks, the unexpected waves, and the tender task of parenting through it all.

In this episode, we discuss:
• What it’s like to lose a pet who’s been with you through every chapter
• The layered experience of grief - and why it’s never just about this one loss
• How to let yourself feel the pain and still show up for your kids’ needs
• Supporting children through grief in honest, age-appropriate, heart-centred ways
• How grief cracks you open - and why that’s not something to fear
• The sacredness of rituals, memory, and letting yourself be witnessed in sorrow
• Why grief isn’t punishment - it’s proof that love mattered
