Losing your pet 💔 | tips for coping pet loss, disenfranchised grief | grieving your cat and dog

I recently lost my cat, Tim and I felt called into making this video about tips for coping pet loss. I also lost my dog back in 2020 and so have felt this undeniable grief before. At the time i searched youtube for a video that was going to help, but couldn't find one. So I'm hoping this video will help someone out there feel less alone with their grief and also validated. Because it is valid to grieve for your cat, dog, rabbit etc. don't let anyone tell you otherwise! I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 they truly do become part of the family, your best friend, your fur baby. I really do understand the pain, I see you. Just know you are not alone with this grief. I'm sending you so much love and warmth 🧡 take care of yourself 🧡 WATCH NEXT: ✨    • Pet Grief 5 Years On 🐾❤️‍🩹 my journey with...   Etsy shop: https://evidentlyican.etsy.com ------------------------ 🙋🏼‍♀️ ABOUT ME: Hi I'm Kate Eveling and I create content to make people feel a little less alone and a little more connected 🧡 Age: 29 Location: United Kingdom Currently Reading: https://amzn.to/3WYBIHd Fav podcast:    / andrewhubermanlab   Today I am grateful for the bond I had with Tim and Holly ♾ If you like the content I create and want to support me by buying me a coffee, then you can do so here: https://ko-fi.com/thevftos Thank you for your kind support 💗 ---------------------- ✨ Amazon storefront: https://amzn.to/3o5jo0W 🎧 FREE Audible trial: https://amzn.to/3d79GEZ 🤤 FREE FOOD box: https://www.graze.com/uk/p/KATEE3JQU ---------------------- 🧡 SOCIALS: @thevftos (the view from the other side) on social media!
