Description
Old age, death, and loss are topics most of us prefer to avoid. They’re uncomfortable, sometimes even painful to discuss, and most people don’t like to think about their own mortality- or that of their pets.
Death, however, is an inevitable part of life, and avoiding conversations about it can make it even harder for us to become comfortable with it. Helen St. Pierre, founder of the non-profit Old Dogs Go To Helen, has spent the past several years helping senior and hospice dogs to live the best life they can before passing on. She joins Julie Fudge Smith and Tina Spring to talk about becoming comfortable with the reality of death while finding meaning and beauty in caring for animals at the end of their life.
