I recently lost my dog Sam after 11-years. How do you move on from the grief of losing your best friend.

Losing a pet

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.

Good Message

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.

Thank you

Moving on: Grieving the loss of a pet.
