episode 31: The Brochure on Love, Loss, and the Legacy of a Beloved Horse Named Dallas
Last week brought an unexpected and heavy-hearted farewell as my husband and I grappled with the sudden loss of our horse Dallas, a beloved family member for nearly 23 years. Stripped of the usual fanfare, this episode is an intimate recollection of the emotional journey from the urgent call that something was amiss, to the heart-wrenching decision we faced in the final moments of Dallas's life. I share not only the pain of our loss but also the deep spiritual connection and the identity I've formed around being Dallas's caretaker and friend. I am truly heartbroken.
In a departure from my typical episodes, I offer my personal experience as a testament to the profound bonds we forge with our equine companions. I explore the universal experience of grief and remembrance, the daily impact of Dallas's presence in my life, and how I'm learning to navigate his absence. This conversation is a tribute to the extraordinary relationships animal lovers cultivate with their pets, and a moment to acknowledge the indelible mark they leave on our lives. For anyone who's loved and lost a pet, may you find solace and kinship in this shared journey of love, loss, and legacy.
