Have you lost a pet and been shocked by how hard it’s hit you?
In August our dog Lenny died suddenly. He was six, and we miss him so much!
In this episode, we sit down with returning guest Britta Grubin, an evidential medium, animal communicator and pet grief specialist, to talk about why losing a pet can flatten you, and what can help when it does.
We share the night we said goodbye to Lenny, the reading Britta did with us right before we hit record, and the signs we’ve noticed since.
Through powerful stories and real-life examples, we dive into:
- Why pet grief can feel like withdrawal (and the feel-good hormones that suddenly switch off)
- The guilt of “should we have done something differently?”
- Why grief can floor you, even if you’ve always kept your guard up
- How soon is too soon to bring a new pet home
- The signs pets in spirit send, from dragonflies to 11:11
- The automatic thoughts and routines nobody warns you about
If you’re in the thick of it right now, we hope this brings you some comfort. Every day gets a little bit easier.
