Grief doesn’t end when we understand it.

It begins with learning how to live through it.

In Part Two of this conversation, we explore how dogs experience our grief, practical ways to support a dog after losing a companion, and the remarkable lessons dogs teach us about love, memory, and moving forward.

Whether you’re helping a grieving dog, grieving yourself, or simply wanting to better understand the bond we share, this episode offers compassionate, evidence-based insights into one of the deepest connections we have with our dogs.

Sometimes the greatest comfort isn’t having all the answers.

It’s knowing we don’t have to grieve alone.
