Welcome back to Sit, Lay, Rest. In this episode, host Liz speaks with Lauren about the tender, often solitary path of grieving a beloved pet. Lauren shares her experience of loving and losing her dogs, Alfie and Squishy, and how this heartbreak led her unexpectedly toward healing with the help of flower essences and herbalism.
Together, Liz and Lauren discuss how pet loss often leaves us with little room or language to process our emotions—and how finding support in the non-human world, from the intuitive bonds with animals to the gentle vibration of plants, can make it possible to move through grief with greater compassion.
Whether walking through a cattle ranch or the depths of her own sorrow, Lauren reflects on how slowing down, connecting with nature, and opening up to nonlinear healing have changed her relationship to loss and to life.
Settle in for an episode that holds space for healing, remembering, and discovering new forms of comfort when grief arrives.
