Navigating Pet Loss: Anticipatory Grief & the Power of Continuing Bonds (with Beth Bigler)
Description
In this deeply compassionate conversation, Candice Fraser sits down with Beth Bigler, a pet loss grief counselor, to explore the often overlooked and misunderstood world of pet loss and anticipatory grief. Beth opens up about her personal journey into this work and the profound, unique bond humans share with their animals—one that often rivals or surpasses our human relationships.
Together, we unpack the emotional terrain of anticipatory grief, the distress that accompanies knowing a beloved pet’s time is limited, and the complicated feelings—especially guilt—that frequently arise both before and after loss.
