Episode 38: The Pet Bereavement Doula

Dion Chang is a well-known trends analyst who trained recently as a death doula, much to the shock, awe and admiration of his friends. He uses his skills and insight in several interesting ways.

One of them is to apply ‘doula principles’ in the business world. But it’s really his work as a pet bereavement doula that motivates him, as someone who understands and supports people experiencing the disenfranchised grief that often characterizes the loss of a cherished animal companion. (Here are some excellent resources that can help, if this is what you are going through.)

There is much to savour in this episode. Dion shares aspects of his personal journey and useful insight into the cycles of life, and what it's like to enter the ‘third age,’ where he makes a compelling case for ‘rewirement’ over retirement. Enjoy!
