Needed to hear this now. Lost my beautiful Binky boy after 15 years to a sudden quick illness. Still cant believe it and these words were very comforting.

I lost my dog on 6/21/2024 she was 2 when she died she had gotten ran over by a truck her name was Zelda we had so many memories together she had a sister Mabel was her name I just can’t help thinking about her I miss her so much🥺😭💔

I don’t know how to go on it’s not fair I miss my best fren so much ! He had a brain tumor he’s gotten so sick nothing could be done ! I can’t eat cheese becus it’s his favorite , house isn’t a home without him running to me when I walk in ! Walks are not the same becus he isn’t beside me ! I want him back 🥹🐾🌟

We just had to put down our beloved Luna after 15 years of having her in our lives. Our kids were 8, 10 and 13 when we rescued her. The void my husband and I feel is brutal. Thank you for the validation and positivity that we will feel better at some point 💔

Lost my boy on 4/5/22. Thank you for your encouragement. Peace to you and I’m sorry for your loss.

My tiny dog Gracie passed tonight. She was 17 and died of cancer. I dreaded her death and losing her was VERY difficult. I was petting her in her final moments. I don’t know if she was aware, but it’s all I had left to give her. I truly pray that I’ll see her again in Heaven one day, healed and happy. It’s going to be so hard but this podcast gave me comfort. Thank you!

My cat just passed today, I had her for 15 years. I’m utterly heartbroken… I am also searching for podcasts about coping with this just grasping for anything that might comfort me… I wish there was more too 😢

My dog just passed today. I’m searching for podcasts that talk about it so that I might find some comfort. I loved this and wish there were more.

I’m grieving intensely and for a long time, She touched me all the time was with me for 17 years.

I am going through this right now!!!

It was just three minutes, but it was so true.

What you say is true, but the problem I’m having is accepting and I don’t want it to be real. I had her for 8 yrs and on thanks giving she showed less movement but I didn’t know it was going to be about her heart. She had a congestive heart then it went to her lungs then her belly, I tried to save her. They wanted her to see a cardiologist. My baby girl never wanted to leave mysids and when I put her down it was my first time doing this and I felt like even though she was ill she wasn’t ready to leave she fought to stay awake. I feel guilty completely and I do feel at fault. I’m taking this hard. I get her ashes today, and I have her sister who is 10, Bella was 12 and rescued from a basement in a cage with no food and water and became my best friend. I just don’t think I can deal with this again allowing to have another pet. Thank you for your podcast and I hope soon I can do what you said, but having another pet I feel like is something I can’t redo.

Thank you. This is so hard.

I needed to hear the words it will get better. Thanks so much for reminding me he will always be with me

I just lost my very first bunny , he was 8 yrs old , 2pd chocolate netherland dwarf name Blu. I deal with depression and PTSD. So this little guy was my therapy guy , my cuddle buddy and very much a big part of my life . I literally work, work out and stay home . So this has been very hard . He was very smart , loving , had quirky funny little antics and loved me back with out a doubt . He developed a blockage in his colon , possibly cancer . But he was to weak for any exploratory surgery so , I got him medication and syringe fed him and literally massages and helped him use the restroom during our last few days . The last night was so very special , he slept on my chest all night . I’ll never forget the love and trust he had for me . I put him to sleep 5/09/20 Saturday 3:13 pm I have his ashes and paw prints by my bed. He was the tiniest thing in my home and took up the biggest space there and in my heart. I pray for his pain free and happy afterlife . 💙🙏🏽💙 thanks for sharing your story on here. I needed a place to release my feelings . 🙏🏽🌸

Thank you for your podcast. Just lost my 14 year old Maltese who was suffering from kidney disease. I’m really struggling with her death because I feel the vets who were treating her made some mistakes and actually made her condition worse and we had to put her down because of that. I feel guilty for not removing her from their care and taking her home...my grieving is not only about loss but also guilt and regret which makes it even worse. Also, the euthanasia process was very traumatic for me, and though I would love to have another dog in my life, I’m very scared of having to go through something like this again. Your closing message about opening your heart to another dog is right...I’m hoping soon I’m strong enough to do it.

I really appreciate your short, but sweet podcast. I had to put my 13 year old Beagle down this week. Like your story, i knew the day would come, but feel it came upon us faster than we thought. Thank you again for sharing your story and grief.

I wish this episode was longer than 3 minutes! I had to put my first pet, my cat Bethany to sleep almost a week ago. She was also 11years old and my vet advised me with her condition it would be what he would do if it were his cat. This episode really calmed me.... was frank..caring..honest..and loving. Thank you again for helping me through this devastating loss. - Kim

For reaching out to anyone who has lost a pet. I lost my best friend, my cat Guillermo last night. I’m so grateful others feel as I do regarding animals and the love they give us and that we have for them. I have to believe they are still around, just in a different way. Thank you for opening your heart and vocalizing your pain and suffering and reminding me that pain is temporary. I’m sure any animal in your care is blessed to have you as their friend. Namaste.
