About this listen

Sam's body was discovered on November 13th, 2022, and his funeral was on the 20th. The anniversary of losing a child never gets easier. The trauma lives in our bodies.

In today's episode, I share memories and thoughts from that impossible week, my struggle with grieving alone, and my heartfelt decision to bring a 4-legged companion back into my life.

The triggers and grief of losing a child are profound, relentless, and never ending. When I lost my beautiful standard pup Luna 14 months ago, I felt the bottom drop out of my world again. She had been my constant companion and support, she was even by my side at Sam's funeral.

I am grateful that I have taken an enormous step toward healing by allowing myself to love another dog. 💕
