THE HARDEST GOODBYE | LOSING MY SOUL DOG, TUCKER

On June 28, 2024 I said goodbye to my beloved Tucker. I have been unable to speak about this for the last few weeks. I told very few people. I had a hard time saying (and even texting the words), that Tucker, my sweet and faithful Soul Dog of 10 years, had gone to heaven to be with Bubba. I knew I would experience intense grief after his passing, this is something I expected, especially after what I went through losing Bubba. But the gaping whole in my heart & profound emptiness I have had to endure day after day after losing him...this is something nobody could have prepared me for. In this episode I talk about the last few weeks of Tucker's life. I describe the arduous task of weighing out every option that was presented by his vet, and share the recurring thoughts and feelings that lead me to make this impossible decision. Tucker has been my trusty companion for the last 10 years. I adopted him at a time when I was very sick with Lyme disease and in many ways, he saved my life. I wanted to honor him by talking about his life, including the day of his adoption & why we chose Tucker among all of the available dogs. He was the definition of a Soul Dog, in every sense of that term. Watch this episode on YouTube! Follow Humanity Unlocked Podcast on Instagram! Find us on TikTok!
