Pet Parent Help For the Grief That Starts Before Goodbye

If you've ever found yourself pre-mourning an ailing pet who's still alive, you're not imagining things—you're experiencing anticipatory grief. And if you've had someone tell you that losing your dog "can't compare" to losing a human? I'm so sorry. Grief is grief, and there are no qualifiers. In this episode, I'm sharing my story of losing Bosco during one of the loneliest seasons of my life, and why pet parents carry a unique kind of burden that most people don't understand. You'll learn why anticipatory grief actually happens and practical ways to care for yourself through one of the hardest goodbye you'll ever make. Whether you're watching your fur baby decline or still processing a loss from years ago, this conversation will meet you with the validation and tools you need. https://therapyforpetpeople.com/blog/coping-with-anticipatory-grief-pet-losshttps://www.dvm360.com/view/understanding-anticipatory-grief-in-pet-ownershttps://www.lapoflove.com/blog/pet-loss-support/how-to-deal-with-anticipatory-griefhttps://www.aplb.org/anticipatory-grief/Get The Anchored Life twice-monthly email.
