What losing a pet teaches us about love and loss

A message from Ashley

Ashley Mosher, documentary filmmaker and creator of Good Boy, explores one of the most overlooked doorways into understanding grief — the loss of our animals. Her film grew out of a simple but searching question: why are we so afraid of death? What she found is that when we allow ourselves to be fully present with the passing of our pets, something opens in us. That capacity for love and grief doesn't diminish us — it prepares us for the losses still to come.
