Ep 112: Do Our Pets Come Back? Love and Loss with Ellen Laura

from French Kissing Life · host Shawnna Stiver

Grief has a way of sneaking into the smallest corners of our day. It shows up in the empty space at the end of the bed, in the leash you no longer reach for, in the routines your nervous system still expects to keep. In this episode, I sit down with Ellen Laura to talk about pet grief, why it can feel so piercing, and why it deserves to be honored rather than minimized. We explore how love with our animals is woven into our daily rhythms, and what it means to stay soft instead of rushing ourselves to move on.We also wander into the mystery of it all. Ellen shares her experiences with reincarnation, intuitive signs, and the possibility that the souls we love may circle back in new forms. Whether through dreams, synchronicities, or the quiet conviction that love continues, this is not about convincing you of anything. It is about curiosity, reverence, and remembering that the bond we share with our animals does not simply disappear.Topics Covered:Why pet grief can feel uniquely gut-wrenching.How society minimizes animal loss and what that does to healing.Grief as a nervous system experience, not just an emotion.Reincarnation and the possibility of animals returning.Signs, dreams, and intuitive moments after a pet passes.Welcoming a new animal without bypassing old grief.The spiritual lessons animals teach us about tenderness and honesty.Connect with Ellen!Website: https://ellenmlaura.com/ Substack: https://substack.com/@ellenmlauraFeline-related books: PussyCat Messages: https://a.co/d/0aFM5CiJStarBorn Cats: https://a.co/d/0fwNa4gLFlame Beneath the Snow: https://a.co/d/0fwNa4gLFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellen.laura.58/ ______________________Contact French Kissing Life PodcastDM us at @shawnnarstiver on Instagram or FacebookConnect with Shawnna Stiver on LinkedInEmail us at [email protected] Until next time, muah! ______________________French Kissing Life is sponsored by Ampersand Copy and Content.
