There's a lot of loss in the world today. When we lose an animal, specifically, we grieve and then have to weigh if getting another pet is worth the pain of potentially losing them. This week, we explore that on our new podcast episode. We feature a conversation with E.B. Bartels, author of Good Grief, and her editor at Mariner Books, Ivy Givens. The book is an unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they’ve passed. This is a must-listen if you've lost a pet in the past.
