MODULE 2 Introduction

Hello there!

How was Module 1? I hope your heart is beginning to feel a little more open during this tender time. Welcome to Module 2, where we'll explore your pet's wisdom.

Our pets lived fully in the moment without agendas about how they "should" be in the world. They ate when hungry, slept when tired, played with abandon, and loved unconditionally.

Meanwhile, society seems to have unrealistic expectations about how pet parents should grieve. Maybe you've heard things like "grieve quietly," "you need to move forward," "it was just a pet," or "why not get another one?" You might even feel like you have to hide your pain to protect others from your grief.

In Module 2, we'll address these myths around pet loss and find real ways to cope when your heart is hurting. Well-meaning friends and family don't always know what you actually need, so we'll move past empty platitudes and focus on how to ask for genuine support.

What you'll explore this week:

• How to be present with what is
• Learning to receive as much as you give
• Steps to being kind to yourself as you've been to others
• Cultivating patience with yourself while grieving
• Small steps you can take right now for better self-care
• Why sleep matters so much when you're grieving

Remember, you can take as little or as much time as you need with each lesson. Just as your love for your pet was unique, so is your grief.
