Sit, Lay, Rest

"Sit, Lay, Rest" is a dedicated podcast series that creates space for an often unacknowledged truth: the loss of a pet can be as profound and life-altering as any other form of grief. As part of The Day After podcast family, this series offers intimate conversations with people who have experienced the unique pain of saying goodbye to their animal companions.

The title itself speaks to the gentle rhythm of life shared with our pets – from the daily commands that become terms of endearment, to that final moment of rest. Each episode provides a sanctuary where pet parents can share their stories without fear of hearing phrases like "it was just a dog" or "you can always get another cat." Here, every bond is honored, every loss acknowledged, and every story treated with the reverence it deserves.

Through intimate conversations, "Sit, Lay, Rest" creates space for the quiet moments of grief - the missing morning walk companion, the empty food bowl you can't bring yourself to put away, the profound silence in a once-bustling home. These stories explore the special dynamics of human-animal bonds, the intense grief that comes with their loss, and the healing that can emerge from sharing these experiences with others who truly understand. Whether you're currently navigating the loss of a beloved pet or seeking to better support someone who is, this series offers a compassionate community where these profound stories of love and loss find their voice.

Join us as we celebrate the extraordinary impact our animal companions leave on our hearts, and discover how sharing these stories can light the way forward through grief.
