Hello, all.
My first season of episodes was both cathartic and draining. I have never told my story in such a relentless, chronological fashion before and as any survivor can attest – it takes a toll to re-live our journey. It’s worth paying, but it costs us.
I also knew I was approaching the end of my dog’s life. I wanted and needed to step away for her. I wanted to be sure I was present for her and aware of her needs. Her loss has been more painful and profound than I had expected. I think the timing of her loss, which came at the end of unburdening myself of everything discussed in Season 1, was her final gift to me. Her death came at just the right time for both of us. She had a long and lovely life. And my sorrow at her passing opened something in me that allowed me to process not only my grief at losing her, but all the things I have survived in my life. What you’ve heard and what’s yet to be told.
I have never cried so much as I have at her passing out of my life and into her next.
I’m still here! I’m still with you! Season 2 will begin soon.
Thanks for listening!
We are NOT broken!
