Grieving a Loss Helpful Tips + Meditation
In this heartfelt minisode of The Authentic Creative, I invite you into a tender space. Our 14-year-old Chihuahua Papillon, Charlie, took her final breath yesterday, surrounded by love. From urgent care on Father’s Day to the lake she loved and our final moments together, I share the full journey: one of ritual, remembrance, and release.
You’ll hear:
🕯 A poem I read to Charlie in the car before we said goodbye
🪶 Eight takeaways and practices to hold you through grief
👦🏽 How we included our children and helped our other dog Luna understand
🌿 Why memorials, movement, and softness matter
🦋 The yellow butterfly and bumblebee that visited us after she passed
🧘🏽♀️ A guided meditation to help you breathe through loss and let love remain
If you’re in the midst of grief, have walked this path before, or know you will one day… this episode is a love letter to all who have ever had to let go.
Mentioned:
✨ Online Breathwork Package – 10 sessions of healing from home

This one’s for Charlie Girl… and for anyone who has ever loved and lost.
Keep expanding your capacity to feel everything, one breath at a time.
