Sam's body was discovered on November 13th, 2022, and his funeral was on the 20th.    The anniversary of losing a child never gets easier.   The trauma lives in our bodies.    In today's episode, I share memories and thoughts from that impossible week, my struggle with grieving alone,  and my heartfelt decision to bring a 4-legged companion back into my life. The triggers and grief of losing a child are profound, relentless, and never ending.   When I lost my beautiful standard pup Luna 14 months ago, I felt the bottom drop out of my world again.   She had been my constant companion and support, she was even by my side at Sam's funeral.    I am grateful that I have taken an enormous step toward healing by allowing myself to love another dog. 💕
