In this episode of Healthy Living Doesn’t Have to Suck, Melyssa shares her story about dealing with her dog Buddy’s health issues, the difficult emotions experienced, and coping with anticipatory grief.

• Educate: Dealing with difficult emotions is hard (duh!), so be kind to yourself through reassurance, comfort, and grace.
• Empower: Reflect on a time when you went through a challenge and what strengths you demonstrated to make it through that situation. Also, take a brief gratitude break with us and share 3 specific things you are grateful for!
• Engage: 1) Give your pets lots of love today! 2) BE KIND TO YOUR VET STAFF! 3) Reach out for help when you need it – the crisis lifeline number is 988 – and find a healthcare professional you feel comfortable with to seek treatment and support.
