1A - How Much Grace Do We Offer Those Grieving Pet Deaths?

They are best friends who are with us through all of life's ups and downs. They love us unconditionally, even when we aren't our best selves.

Many people consider their pets to be part of their family. That's why when our pet companions pass away, it can be devastating. Some research suggests that losing a pet can be even more difficult to cope with than the death of a family member.

Today, more people are seeking out pet loss support. There's also a movement to push for more policies at work like pet bereavement.

We discuss how our understanding of grieving over the loss of a pet is evolving, and how we support those experiencing the loss.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘All Fours,’ Miranda July tackles love, sex and reinvention in middle age

Writer and filmmaker Miranda July says the popular imagination sort of drops off once a woman gets married and has kids. Her new novel All Fours turns that on its head – it's a story about an artist in her 40s who departs from her husband and child on a road trip that takes her to some very unexpected places. In today's episode, July speaks to NPR's Brittany Luse about the interviews she conducted with women going through perimenopause and menopause for this book, and the whisper network with her friends that fueled her protagonist's deep desire for something new.
