TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide is discussed in this episode. Please listen at your discretion.Rebecca shares an extraordinary life story—losing both parents to suicide, surviving childhood sexual abuse, and being separated from her brother for 20 years—then finding deep healing through storytelling, spirituality, and the love of her “soul dog,” Gus. After Gus’s unexpected passing in 2023, Rebecca experienced a grief more profound than the deaths of her parents. She chronicles the signs, synchronicities, and comfort she received—from rainbows and hawks to an animal communicator’s transcripts—and how welcoming Zeke into her life helped her “allow, not force” the healing process. She and Angela explore why pets bond with us so intensely (unconditional love + presence), how grief is transformative, and practical ways to move through pet loss with compassion and ritual.Takeaways:Why the connection felt different—and deeper than parental lossWhy we bond so strongly with pets: unconditional love + present-moment embodimentGrief as transformation: heartbreak, strength, and growing empathyHolding pain and joy together; loving forwardWorking with an animal communicatorWork with Rebecca through her ⁠website⁠.
