Beyond the Rainbow Bridge

Episode 5: Rituals for Healing

As part of my practice, I coach K9 bereavement. This afternoon, after years of needing to wait, my daughter is coming by to pick up her pup’s collar, tags and his paw print. It’s got me thinking—when a pet joins your life, they reshape the whole rhythm of your home. And when they’re gone, everything shifts. That’s why rituals matter. They help us give shape to the grief, and hold on to the love. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Episode 3: Brain’s Reaction to Loss

Studies using brain imaging show that areas like the anterior cingulate cortex and the insula light up during pet loss—the same regions activated during human bereavement. The physiological response is the same: disrupted sleep, loss of appetite, changes in immune function, even cardiac symptoms. #loss #dog #puppy #grief ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 2: Some Science of Pet Grief

In this heartfelt episode of Beyond the Rainbow Bridge, Rob shares the story of Trigger, a lovable and clumsy Brittany who, despite never being a hunter, became his greatest emotional support. We explore the science behind pet grief—why losing a dog hits so deeply on both emotional and neurological levels. Rob discusses how our dogs regulate our nervous systems, provide unconditional love, and often become silent healers through life’s darkest moments. This episode also introduces how coaching can help you process grief, honor your dog’s legacy, and gently move forward—without being told to “just get over it.” Whether you’re grieving now or still healing from a past loss, this episode is for you. Coaching question of the day: When you think about the presence your dog had in your life, what part of you feels most empty now—and what might that emptiness be inviting you to explore?
