#14 - Ute Luppertz (Pet Death Doula)

When We Die Talks

In todays episode, I speak with pet death doula Ute Luppertz about the emotional journey of losing a beloved animal. Made more timely by a recent health scare with my 17-year-old dog Jackson, we discuss how we can prepare for a pet’s death, create meaningful rituals, and navigate the grief that often goes unspoken.

Together, they explore:

• How pets teach us about patience, compassion, and presence
• The importance of rituals and legacy in animal loss
• Why grief around pets is often minimized—and how to push back
• How children and other animals experience loss
• What Ute believes happens when our pets die

Whether you're actively caring for an aging animal or reflecting on past loss, this conversation offers comfort, perspective, and tools for honoring the love we share with our pets.
