From Grief to Gratitude: Honoring Pets Through Purpose

Episode Summary

In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Ruth Roberts sits down with Scott Colby to explore one of the most challenging aspects of pet parenthood - loss and grief. Scott shares his profound journey caring for his beloved cats Nomar and Mia through their senior years, navigating sudden loss, chronic illness, and the overwhelming grief that followed.

What makes this conversation truly special is how Scott transformed his deepest pain into purpose, creating resources and support systems for other pet parents facing similar challenges. From sleeping on the floor for six months to care for his declining cat, to establishing an endowment fund that will help pet families forever - this is a story of love, loss, and the healing power of helping others.
