Podcast #46: Anticipatory Grief and Inner Strength

from Dose of Wonder · host Caitlin McColl 🇨🇦

This week’s podcast discusses grief as a powerful force that reveals one’s inner strength and resilience. I share a personal experience of anticipatory grief while facing the imminent death of my beloved senior rescue dog, Penny, who battled cancer and we lost in 2021. I highlight the emotional difficulty of knowing that loss is coming and the process of grieving aspects of Penny’s unique personality and traits, even before the loss occurs, ultimately connecting this difficult experience to realizing one’s bravery and strength in the face of hardship.Loved this episode?
