How does one mourn a beloved pet?

I know for me, the turning point on my grief was when I could honestly look at all a pet gave me, rather than what I lost. But to this day, I still tear up at the loss of my animals. And I suspect I'm not alone.

Jean Alfieri is a grief coach specializing pet loss. Grief, she explains, is not a linear process; rather, it evolves over time, much like a circle that grows and shrinks in relation to our lives.

In this podcast, Jean shares her journey of adopting senior dogs and the lessons learned through their inevitable passing. Her new book, "21 Ways to Weather the Loss of Your Pet," serves as a guide for those navigating the painful process of grieving.

How do we honor our pets? Process our grief? Share it?

Listen in to explore how these deep bonds can be kept alive, and let go, to help us find joy and healing in the midst of sorrow.
