Coping with Pet Loss: Grieving a Beloved Dog & Preparing for End of Life
Coping with Pet Loss: Grieving a Beloved Dog & Preparing for End of Life
Losing a pet can feel devastating — and yet pet grief is often minimized or misunderstood.
In this episode, Adam Greenbaum shares the story of losing his Boston Terrier, Baxter, and how that experience led him to create Love Baxter, a resource supporting pet owners through end-of-life decisions and bereavement.
We discuss:
Why pet loss is often disenfranchised grief
Preparing for a pet’s end of life
The emotional toll of euthanasia decisions
Ways to celebrate and memorialize your pet
Finding support during pet bereavement
Our pets are companions, family, and witnesses to our lives. Their loss matters.
As always, we close with practical steps you can take during your own grief journey.
