In this powerful and deeply vulnerable episode, I’m joined once again by my sister Breanne Kerr for a conversation that many animal guardians will one day face—but few talk about openly. Breanne recently navigated the transition of her beloved dog, Stitch, and the journey was anything but straightforward.
What made Stitch’s transition so complex and so poignant was the profound disconnect between what his internal body was showing and what he was outwardly presenting. While his physical body was quietly shutting down, his spirit, behaviour, and energy expressed joy, enthusiasm, and life. For many humans, that lack of clear, external signs removes the sense of “certainty” we so often rely on when making end-of-life decisions for our animals. This episode gently explores what it means to walk through that space of uncertainty with courage, honesty, and love.
Breanne introduces Stitch—who he was as a soul, a companion, and a teacher—and takes us through the unfolding of his health journey. Together, we explore the hardest emotional moments, the inner conflict of “he still seems happy,” the intuitive nudges that informed their decisions, and the quiet wisdom that Stitch offered throughout.
We also speak to the practical pieces, the energetic considerations, the spiritual support, and the reminders that can help you feel less alone in an impossibly tender chapter.
