Cattitude - Episode 311 Echoes from the Rainbow Bridge: When the Love of a Cat Never Leaves

What happens to the love we share with our cats after they're gone? This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes back author Josephine Spence for a touching and uplifting conversation about her new book, Echoes from the Rainbow Bridge, inspired by the loss of her beloved cat, Onkyo, after 19 extraordinary years together. Josephine shares how writing 37 imagined letters from Onkyo helped her navigate the silence, sadness and grief that followed her passing—and gave her comfort in believing their bond continues beyond this life. Michelle and Josephine explore why pet-loss grief is very real, meaningful ways to honor and remember a beloved cat, whether and when to open your heart to another pet, and the beautiful lessons cats teach us about unconditional love and living in the present. It's a heartfelt episode for anyone who has ever loved—and had to say goodbye to—a very special cat, with a hopeful reminder that the pawprints they leave on our hearts never disappear.EPISODE NOTES: Echoes from the Rainbow Bridge: When the Love of a Cat Never LeavesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
