What If My Pet's Death Is All My Fault

Have you ever told the story of your pet's final moments and noticed you're always the villain in it? Today, I'm sharing why the story you've been replaying may be incomplete, and a simple process to help you finally see what guilt has been hiding from you. I'll share the story of Sasha, and the question a wise friend asked me that changed the way I understood my place in what happened. And I'll walk you through a reflective process called Widen the Frame, four questions that help you step outside your traumatized perspective and see yourself as one of the people in the scene, not just the person you're judging. Because your pet's final moments are a chapter in your relationship. They are not the whole story.
