Losing a beloved pet is one of the most emotional experiences a family can go through—especially when you’re trying to support your kids while grieving yourself.

In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by Jean Alfieri, certified grief coach for pet loss and author of 21 Ways to Weather the Loss of Your Pet. Jean shares practical ideas, tender stories, and thoughtful advice on how families can process grief and honor the pets that meant so much.

We explore:

  • The emotional weight of pet loss (and why it’s often underestimated)

  • How to talk to kids about death in an age-appropriate, compassionate way

  • Ideas from Jean’s book—like memory jars, tribute rituals, and story sharing

  • Guilt and grief around euthanasia—and how to find peace in tough decisions

  • The importance of simply saying: “I’m sorry for your loss”

Whether you’ve lost a furry family member or want to help a child cope, this episode offers comfort, connection, and healing insight.

🎧 Listen in and feel less alone.
