Pet loss and grief are rarely spoken about with the seriousness they deserve. When a beloved dog dies, many people find themselves lying to their employer, suppressing their heartbreak, or being told it’s time to “just get another one.” This conversation with Koryn Greenspan explores why grief for our animals is so misunderstood, what anticipatory grief really means, and how we can honour the bond that continues long after goodbye.

“We are their entire everything. There is no way that that relationship can’t affect you in a different way.” — Koryn
