Such a bittersweet day today. Dr. Amanda Zoerner and I spayed and neutered 27 adorable cats and cuddled some very sweet puppies! We also lost a girl we tried so hard to save. Even when you know you can’t save them all, it hurts.
For you, sweet M. :

Thank you for the joy and companionship you brought into our lives. We return you to sprit’s loving care, asking that you find rest and play freely without pain, forever held in our memory and hearts. 🩵

A reminder we all need to hear. 💙 The world might tell you to "get over it," but the truth is, you don't move on from a love that deep. You learn to carry their love with you, woven into your story, carried forward in every act of kindness they taught you about unconditional love.

We grieve our pets and for some the loss is immeasurable.
Grieving a pet loss often involves disenfranchised grief, where the depth of your sorrow is not openly acknowledged or supported by society. There can also be anticipatory grief, knowing that death is imminent.
While some might say "it was just a pet", those who have loved and lost one can tell you that the grief is valid and comparable to human loss.

When a beloved animal companion is nearing the end of life, you may find yourself facing choices that feel impossibly hard.

I recently joined Diane Hullet on her Best Life Best Death podcast to talk about what it means to make decisions that align with our values when our pets are nearing the end of their lives.

These are tender conversations, and I think you’ll find the discussion both grounding and supportive.

You can listen to this episode, “Choices Aligned with Values: Deciding about Euthanizing a Pet,” through the link in my bio.
