Podcast appearances and mentions of coleen ellis

We've spent a lot of time on this podcast talking about grief over the loss of our beloved companion animals. Much of the content has revolved around anticipatory grief and the loss of a pet due to a terminal illness or old age. But there are many more types of loss pet guardians can face. Runaways. Accidents. Surrenders. Custody battles. Behavioral euthanasia. And they all carry with them trauma and nuanced, complex emotions. My dear friend Coleen Ellis of Two Hearts Pet Loss Center joins me to unravel those emotions and how guilt and grief intertwine.

I've struggled a while with addressing this topic. I don't have human children, never wanted one. So who was I to host a podcast on how to talk to kids about the family pet dying? But I remembered that all I had to do was put on my old journalist hat and ask the right questions. First question: who can answer those questions? Of course, my good friend Coleen Ellis of Two Hearts Pet Loss Center can. Coleen is also my mentor in pet loss grief companioning. With Dr. Mary Gardner, cofounder of Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, Coleen has written two books to guide children through their grief. Both are called "My Forever Friend." One is for saying goodbye to a special dog and the other for saying goodbye to a special cat. Each one contains activities for parents and children to work through together. Coleen, who also doesn't have skin children, a term I learned from Coleen, is quite easily the kind of person you can trust to accompany your kids on this grief journey. She's dynamic and engaging and most importantly empathetic and compassionate.

We don't want to think about the last day we have with our best fur friend, but as we've heard a couple of times from Coleen Ellis in The Art of Making Memories and The Art of Loving a Soul Dog (or Heart Dog), planning can help take some of the stress and pain away from the end. Today, Darlene Woodward of Pant the Town Photography in Massachusetts takes the mic to chat with her friend, Dr. Jennifer Cushing of Beloved Pet Home Euthanasia and Hospice in Reading, Massachusetts. Jennifer helped Darlene say goodbye last summer to her precious Kota, a Siberian husky full of spunk and sass. The planning and in-home euthanasia gave Darlene the perfect way to lift Kota up to the next realm … gently and peacefully with her eyes on the backyard where she spent so many years chasing squirrels.

As a professional writer of 30-some years, words and phrases carry a lot of meaning for me. When I see one I don't know, I rush to look it up. Find out more about what it means, how it should be used. My husband and I have an unending squabble. I say "six of one, half a dozen of another," while he claims to should be "six to one, half a dozen to another." Same difference, I say, but he insists on correcting me whenever I say my version. (Feel free to let me know in the comments which one you think it is.) In any case, I've been over the last year or so really wondering what the terms "soul dog" and "heart dog" mean. I knew Shep was my soulmate from that one very special moment we shared in the Rocky Mountains when he changed my life. I called him my heart dog. Then Bella came along and after nine years of being together I feel my heart growing bigger and bigger every time I look at her. Is she my heart dog now? What happens to Shep? Then I heard the term "soul dog," and I thought, "Well, maybe Shep is my soul dog and Bella is my heart dog." But what happens when Bella is gone? Do I get a catchy new phrase for the next love of my life? Do we get to have two soul dogs or three heart dogs? And what the hell does "soul dog" and "heart dog" mean anyway? And … here's the big one … are we doing a disservice to our past loves and our future loves by latching onto these terms? I knew precisely whom I needed to help me answer these questions: my friend and mentor, Coleen Ellis, founder of Two Hearts Pet Loss Center, which helps pet care-related professionals better support their clients in grief, and our guest on Episode 10, The Art of Making Memories. What to Listen For 5:51 How many heart dogs can you have? 11:27 The power of reframing your thoughts 14:23 Guilt and grief often walk through the door together 22:34 Planning for the end gives us time to say "how can I make it perfect?" 31:40 We each have our own way of defining "heart dog" Find Coleen Two Hearts Pet Loss Center Coleen Rocks Facebook LinkedIn Instagram Twitter --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onelastnetwork/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onelastnetwork/support

Susan, your host, welcomes Coleen Ellis to today's episode. Coleen faced the death of her pet in 1998 and that moment changed her forever. It was the beginning of her vision of how to best meet the needs of pet parents in their desire to mourn, memorialize, and pay tribute to their beloved pets when they die. In 2003, the experience of the death of her dog, Mico, guided her in starting the nation's first stand-alone pets-only funeral home, Pet Angel Memorial Center. In 2009, Coleen founded Two Hearts Pet Loss Center, to guide people who wish to provide meaningful pet death care services in their communities, as well as to be an educational resource in the pet grief discipline. In 2009, she received the first Death and Grief Studies Certification specializing in Pet Loss Companioning by Dr. Alan Wolfelt as well as releasing her first book, Pet Parents: A Journey Through Unconditional Love and Grief. Her second book co-authored with colleague Dr. Mary Gardner, Forever Friend, released in 2022. She is Certified in Thanatology and is a Certified Pet Loss Professional.   By 2014, Coleen was ready to take her vision to a new level. She was a co-founder of The Pet Loss Center and assisted the company in opening pet loss operations across the United States, with this operation being acquired by a national acquisition company in 2020.   Coleen is an internationally sought-after speaker on the topics of pet loss and grief. Through her delivery style, pet care professionals learn a variety of techniques immediately applicable to implement on how to companion families in their grief journey. Furthermore, her talks to pet parents give them the permission they need to not only grieve but mourn the loss of their beloved pet.   Key Takeaways: Coleen talks about how pets are considered family members for most of their owners and as a result, the grieving process is as profound and painful as it is when we lose a relative. Coleen advises people to choose wisely who they will be surrounded by when they are grieving, some people just don't get it. Coleen talks about the anticipatory feeling of loss when a pet owner has to take the tough decision of ending their pet's life. Coleen explains how hospice for pets works. Please remember to be kind to yourself. Wherever you are right now is exactly where you should be. Honor the journey you shared with your pet every day. Ask your pet for a sign. You are not losing your mind, allow yourself to receive the signs as you notice them. Every grieving process is different. Mourning is the active part of grieving; you have to do something with your grief and honor the time you spent with your pet.   Resources Tendrilsofgrief.com Email Susan: susan@tendrilsofgrief.com   Meet Learn more about Coleen Ellis Two Hearts Pet Loss Center, Pet Parents: A Journey Through Unconditional Love and Grief, Coleen Ellis Forever Friend, Coleen Ellis Foreverfriend.pet

If you want to dive into making sure that your pet's end of life journey is perfect for them, listen to Coleen's discussion about celebrating life and preparing to cross the rainbow in the best way possible.

How do you host a pet loss memorial service? Living in a ‘death avoidance' society, many are uncomfortable with the idea of facing death and the passing of a pet. As pet sitters, we can position ourselves as leaders in the community of hurting people who have lost their pets. We can create safe spaces for them to grieve and find others to support them in their mourning work. Coleen Ellis, founder of the Two Hearts Pet Loss Center, joins the show to share what it takes to put on an effective pet loss memorial service. She gives details on elements you can include, and ones to avoid. Main topics What should we call it? Why are they needed? Typical structure Growing the community Things to avoid Main takeaway: Hosting a pet loss memorial events helps people in your community understand that the grief we have is the price we have for love, and that there is support for them. About our guest: For Coleen, her foray into helping grieving pet lovers started in 1998 with a chance encounter with a pet parent facing the death of her beloved pet. It was the beginning of a vision of how to best meet the needs of pet parents in their desire to mourn, memorialize and pay tribute to their beloved pets when they die. In 2004, the experience of the death of Mico guided her in starting the nation's first stand-alone pet funeral home. Soon, publications such as Kates-Boylston's Pet Loss Insider deemed her the “most well known pet funeral director” and a true “pet loss pioneer.” Two Hearts Pet Loss Center was founded in 2009 to guide people who wished to do the same in providing meaningful pet death care services in their communities. Two Hearts was also started to aid in being an educational resource in the pet grief discipline. In 2009, she received the first Death and Grief Studies Certification specializing in Pet Loss Companioning by Dr. Alan Wolfelt as well as releasing her first book, Pet Parents: A Journey Through Unconditional Love and Grief. She is also Certified in Thanatology and is a Certified Pet Loss Professional. By 2014, Coleen was ready to take her vision to a new level. Joining Nick Padlo as managing partner and Chief Marketing Officer, they formed an acquisition company whose mission was to standardize and raise the service levels of the pet loss industry. The Pet Loss Center strives to be the nation's premier pet loss service, elevating the experiential component of pet loss and grief care across the country. In 2019, she shifted her position with The Pet Loss Center to an Advisory/Consultant role in order to focus more fully on Two Hearts and those demanding education, mentoring, and coaching in the pet death care space. Coleen is an internationally sought-after speaker on the topics of pet loss and grief. Through her delivery style, pet care professionals learn a variety of techniques immediately applicable to implement on how to companion families in their grief journey. Furthermore, her talks to pet parents give them the permission they need to not only grieve but mourn the loss of their beloved pet.
