Grief Does Not Specify Species | Koryn Greenspan

A dog dies and the person is told it was just a dog. The grief does not work that way, and neither does the law. In this episode, Koryn Greenspan, founder of The Parted Paw and a Certified Pet Loss and Grief Specialist, ACC-ICF coach, and Certified End-of-Life Pet Doula, joins host Niki Weiss to talk about why pet loss is treated as lesser grief, the decisions worth making before the last day arrives, and what it costs people at work when their grief is not recognized as grief. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN - Why the loss of a pet can hit harder than the loss of a person, and why that takes nothing away from either - The decisions worth making in advance: in home euthanasia, location, timing, and what happens to the remains - How to find out whether your employer's bereavement policy covers a pet, and what to do if it does not - Why pets being classified as property still shapes how workplaces respond to pet loss - What compassion fatigue does to veterinary teams, and what support is available to them Live fully, die ready.
