Manage episode 446480202 series 3290802
Does time really heal all wounds? The loss of a pet is a painful life experience. But healing comes in many forms including creativity and advocacy. That’s Erica Messer’s story. Her personal loss of her beloved cat Wolfgang took her on a journey to become a board-certified pet bereavement specialist and creator of Wolfie’s Wish, a company that turned her pain into a purposeful mission. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, Erica opens up about how music, art and words of affirmation have helped thousands on their pet loss healing journey. Plus, why she’s making the entire pet industry and workplaces see pet bereavement in an entirely different light.
