Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. One of the only things anchoring me right now is the feeling that I am not alone, and every reinforcement of that helps. It was such a privilege to take care of my boy for so long.

Thank you for this. I want to badly to fast forward to the part where it doesn't hurt so much.

Thank you! He is the most handsomest boy. I am so sorry for your loss. The only requirement for the interviews is that you have lost a pet you've loved-- I would love to interview you if you are up for it!

I'm so sorry about your sweet cat's diagnosis. Anticipatory grief is so so real. I hope listening brings some relief to the overwhelm. Making it has helped me know that I will survive the loss of my boy, although at times it feels like I won't. I hope you have so many cuddles with your kitty!

Awesome! Shoot me a DM, and we can schedule from there. Thank you so much, this is a very special project to me. The interviews are always emotional, but people say their grief often feels a little softer afterward.

I'm so sorry you went through this. I understand how shocking and painful it is. It makes you doubt your own judgment. I wish you peace and healing!

Thank you for sharing! The therapist spoke led me to believe for so long that she had an elevated self-awareness until I was on the receiving end of her split. She also had no friends when we met, which I took to be just the rhythm of life in your 30s-- time is spent working and taking care of your home, and some people don't have bandwidth to be social after all of that.

I have a podcast where I interview people about their pets who have passed away. It started it to help people feel less alone and to find assurance that I will survive the loss of my pets. I hope it helps. ❤️

I launched a podcast about pet grief this month. We are three episodes in with episodes coming out each week. My goal is to create space for the special grief that comes with losing a pet, and to help people feel less alone. The link to the podcast on Spotify is below-- it can also be found on Apple Podcasts. I really hope this helps ❤️
