It's a journey that I face and learn what it has to teach me and what I write about in my books, especially about anticipatory pet loss and grief, but applies to anticipatory grief even with humans.
How do you cope with the loss of a beloved pet? In this touching episode of the World's Best Trauma Recovery Podcast, Nancy Gordon, a licensed clinical social worker and certified life coach, opens up about her deeply personal journey through grief and healing. Nancy's story begins with Toaster, her Mexican Hairless Dog, who became an invaluable service dog helping her manage the chronic pain of fibromyalgia.
The bond they shared was extraordinary, and Toaster's passing left a profound void in her life. Nancy doesn't just talk about her own experiences; she offers a compassionate guide for anyone grappling with the loss of a pet. She explains how pet loss can be as impactful as losing a human loved one and delves into the concept of anticipatory grief. Nancy also discusses cognitive dissonance, where conflicting thoughts and emotions can make the grieving process even more challenging.
As Pet Grief Awareness Week approaches, Nancy's insights are especially timely. She's been invited to participate in Dr. Karen Becker's pet grief expert interviews, highlighting her expertise in this often-overlooked area of grief. Whether you're currently mourning a pet or supporting someone who is, Nancy's story offers a blend of professional advice and heartfelt empathy that can help guide you through this difficult time.
