Catch Janna Dewey, Director of Equine Programs at The Meadows, live on Arizona’s Family as she discusses a topic many experience, but few talk about: grief after losing a pet.

💬 On the segment, Janna will share:
✔️ Why losing a pet can feel as significant as losing a family member
✔️ Why this type of grief is often minimized or misunderstood
✔️ How unprocessed grief can impact mental health, work, and relationships
✔️ The role of equine-assisted therapy in emotional healing
✔️ How our Led by Love workshop creates space to grieve and begin healing

At The Meadows, we recognize that grief takes many forms—and healing starts by giving it the space and support it deserves.

PTSD and substance use are two of the most common challenges veterans face after service, and they’re often deeply connected.

Many veterans return home with a nervous system that is still in survival mode. In that space, substances can begin to feel like relief. Over time, what starts as coping can become something harder to manage, especially when trauma goes untreated.

Effective care requires more than treating symptoms in isolation. It requires an approach that understands both trauma and substance use, and how they impact one another.

Through our program, Unbroken At The Meadows, we provide specialized treatment designed for active-duty military, veterans, and first responders. Unbroken provides trauma-focused, whole-person care that addresses both PTSD and substance use together, supporting long-term recovery and stability.

Grief related to animal loss is often overlooked, leaving many people without a place to fully acknowledge what they are carrying. Animal loss can also elicit a larger emotional response, possibly triggering unresolved trauma, grief, or childhood abandonment. This response may also include feelings related to loss of identity. Our Led by Love workshop was created specifically to support those healing from this grief.

Led by experienced, licensed therapists, this multi-day, experiential therapy workshop offers a supportive, grounded space to reflect, connect, and process alongside others who understand the depth of these relationships
