Paws, Tears, and Friendship: Supporting Melissa Through Goodbye

This week, things get a little emotional as Melissa opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her beloved dog, Ivy. Jill and Kelly rally around their friend, sharing what it means to show up for someone when they’re hurting. Through the tears, they still find moments to smile — from Kenzie being home (and the two of them heading to bingo!) to all the excitement of Thanksgiving coming up. Jill’s getting ready for her family’s talent show, and the girls are looking forward to a special weekend wedding where Paige, Brooke, and Kenzie will all be reunited. It’s an episode about love, loss, friendship, and finding gratitude — even in the hardest moments.Have a question for the moms?
