S3E13 - When a Beloved Pet Dies

  • Summary

  • The relationships we have with our pets has changed over the past several decades. The attachment we share with our pets has elevated their position to where they are often considered a valued member of the family. In this episode we speak with Lianna Titcombe, Palliative Veterinarian and Melanie Salvage, Registered Social Worker specializing in pet loss.

    Lianna and Melanie are both pioneers in their respective fields. Lianna specializes in supporting her patients to have a pain and symptom free death surrounded by loving family in the familiarity of their home environment (and she also educates other veterinarians to provide this care). Melanie specializes in supporting grieving individuals and families during the palliative and grief process when a beloved pet dies. They bring insight and compassion into understanding why the palliative journey and death of our pets can be such a deep experience of grief and loss.

    Please have a listen or send to a friend whose life has been changed and enriched through a relationship with a pet. If having a pet isn't part of your world, you may still want to listen as it may increase your understanding of others grieving the death of a pet.
