One of the hardest moments any guardian faces is knowing when it’s time to help an animal transition. In this episode of The Grounded Communicator, I open an honest, compassionate conversation about the timing of euthanasia — what it means to “make the call,” how to navigate the uncertainty around when it’s right, and how to support both your animal and yourself through it.

We explore what “right timing” truly means — not just for our animals, but for us as their humans. I share perspectives on how animals experience timing differently than we do, what they often care about most in their final moments, and how we can honour their preferences while also tending to our own emotional readiness.

From preparing for the call itself, to knowing what questions to ask your vet, to creating a supportive environment on the day of transition for ourselves, this episode offers gentle guidance for one of life’s most sacred and challenging passages.

Because while there may never be a perfect moment, there can be one that feels aligned — grounded in love, awareness, and presence.
