Podcast Addict57 days agocatladyyo- Helpful beyond words
I found this podcast when my soul cat, Oliver, passed suddenly 3 years ago. Unfortunately, I had to put down my Orange Boy yesterday after a sudden decline in health. This time around is no less hard and is harder in other ways because it's my first time with euthanasia. I don't think I could survive the grief if it weren't for this podcast.

This is a wonderful podcast telling stories that allow me to not feel so alone when I find myself in the deepest of my grief. I highly recommend this to anyone who has lost any loved one and to always remember you aren’t alone

Ken and Nancy are so kind and compassionate. This podcast was a warm blanket when I was in the throes of grief over my beautiful dog. I still listen from time to time and have recommended it to many friends. I also appreciated that Ken and Nancy personally responded to my email where I wrote with a follow up question about one ep. They were very kind and thoughtful in their response, which meant so much to me at the time. Thank you for this.
Apple Podcasts5gabster555United States4 months ago - I’m so glad this exists
Losing my pets has been the worst/hardest things I’ve ever experienced and completely changed how I live. I have often felt like (a) no one else feels the same level of pain that I do, and (b) no one wants to hear about it because it’s too sad.
This podcast has made me feel so much less alone and I really, really needed that.
