My dear friend Valarie Adams returns to this episode of "Why Do Pets Matter?" to continue a wonderful chat about grief and mourning the loss of our beloved pets, addressing grief and listening deeply to others who are grieving, and the role good communication plays during emotionally charged end-of-life conversations between vets and owners. 


About Valarie Adams:

Valarie Adams is a CVT with over 40 years working in veterinary medicine. Graduating from the Medical Institute of Minnesota in 1973 puts her in the “aged but still useful” class.


Her background in veterinary medicine has taken her from working with large and small animal emergency/critical care to delivering in-home veterinary hospice and palliative care. Valarie has lectured and written on death and dying and the human-animal bond. 


She fills her soul with her horses, volunteering veterinary care on a Native American reservation and gathering with groups of wise women.
