If you've ever lost a pet, you know how hard it is to say goodbye, but does letting go mean saying goodbye forever? Does it mean you'll lose the connection with your pet? Those are the questions so many people carry in their hearts after a beloved animal dies, and for good reason, the idea of letting go can sound cold and final and even impossible when your heart is holding on so tightly. But what if letting go doesn't mean losing them at all. What if letting go is actually the path to feeling closer, not further away. Today, I want to talk about what letting go really means after pet loss, not the version people often fear, but the deeper, truer version one that allows love to stay alive, connection to deepen to begin healing your heart. I've walked this letting go path many, many times in my life, and the more I practice it around any loss, any challenge, any moment of holding on too tightly, the more I understand what a sacred gift truly is.
