Hi! I feel a little embarrassed asking this, but has your show ever discussed dealing with the grief of losing a pet companion? I’m currently in the throes of having lost my best friend, and I’m in a really dark place. Lost her suddenly and without a warning. I don’t feel like I get as much support from friends and family because folks rule out pet deaths as not-as-important. I feel alone in this process 😞Animal companions can sometimes get closer to you than other humans. It’s been the most painful thing I’ve experienced

Thank you so much. I didn't know about those resources. I've been reading through the posts and I'm not feeling as lonely anymore.

I'll check out your podcast for sure :)

Thank you so much for commenting. I really appreciate the support

It was hard to think of the good times at first because any memory, whether good or bad, would send me off into a dark pit. But little by little, I'm beginning to reconnect with those moments. I cried non-stop for the first week, unable to get out of bed or eat much. I eventually started getting really sick and had to get up. Now it just comes and goes throughout the day.

Thank you so much for your advice
