I’m Colleen Ellis, the founder of Two Hearts Pet Loss Center. Today, I want to discuss a difficult topic: coping with the loss of a beloved pet. While it’s a painful subject, it’s one we’ll all face. I aim to provide you with insights and emphasize the importance of giving yourself permission to grieve, mourn, and honor your pet’s life and love. We often wonder why the pain is so intense when our pets pass away compared to human losses. I’ll share a few thoughts to help you understand this.
