Episode 91. Grief That Returns Unpredictably Through Ordinary Triggers
You're fine for weeks, maybe months, and then a feeding bowl or a certain time of evening knocks you sideways out of nowhere. In this episode I talk about why grief isn't linear, why nobody warns you these triggers will keep showing up, and what to actually do when one catches you off guard in the middle of an ordinary day.

Episode 90. Grief Doesn't Care How They Died
At least you had time to say goodbye. Or, at least it was quick, they didn't suffer. Both of those sentences quietly suggest one kind of grief should be smaller than the other. In this episode I'm taking that apart, using both research and my own experience with Ozzie and Moose, to show why grief isn't proportional to how much warning you had. It's proportional to how much the relationship meant. That's the only thing that matters.

89. The Question That Never Has a Right Answer
Did I do it too soon, or did I wait too long. If that question has ever kept you up at night after choosing euthanasia for your pet, this episode is for you. I talk openly about the guilt that followed my decision with Moose, and why that guilt shows up for almost everyone, no matter which day they chose. This isn't about finding the moment you should have picked instead. It's about seeing that decision for what it actually was, an act of love, not a failure.
