episode 19: The Potpourri Brochure on Finding Joy through Grief and Building a Human/Animal Bond
This week I'm touching on a couple of different subjects but somehow they're all related. Unanticipated emotions surface as I recount a dream about my former boss. Maybe watching "The Crown" put ideas in my head. That segues into a discussion on grief. I'm navigating these currents alongside Anderson Cooper's insights from "All There Is," considering the persistent dance with sorrow and its transformational role in our lives. The conversation extends a hand to anyone who's felt the sting of loss, affirming that within the heartache lies a deeper capacity for empathy and joy. The main message here is that, "Grief work opens the heart to compassion for others."
Next up I'm talking about our recent 13th wedding anniversary. Is the 13th anniversary unlucky? Our trip was cut short because it turns out I'm the only person who can give our cat Bubbie his insulin shot. But the bond you create with a special needs animal is special, and Bubbie is evidence of that! Even if he is kind of feisty about everything.
Let's welcome 2024 with open arms! Happy New Year everyone!
