Episode Description: Disenfranchised Grief
In this episode, we delve into the concept of disenfranchised griefâa type of grief that is not acknowledged or validated by society. This can occur when the loss is not publicly recognized, the relationship to the deceased is not socially sanctioned, or the griever's mourning process is stigmatized or misunderstood. Join us as we explore the emotional and psychological impact of disenfranchised grief, share personal stories, and provide strategies for coping with this unique form of sorrow.
For more resources and free downloads to support your journey through disenfranchised grief, visit [Wolfie's Wish](https://wolfieswish.com). Here, you'll find a wealth of information and tools designed to help you navigate this challenging experience and connect with a community that understands.

About Courtney and David Roche:
Once upon a time a family was devastated by the loss of their beloved boxer, Ruby. They searched for a memorial that could truly honor Ruby's character in a personal and meaningful way, but to no avail. They wanted something authentic that could reflect the love and bond they had with Ruby.
Feeling frustrated and disheartened, they decided to take matters into their own hands. They headed to their garage and created a special memorial for Ruby that truly captured her spirit and celebrated their adventures together. They developed a way to encapsulate memories that incorporates the thing closest to a pet- their own collar. But little did they know, this was just the beginning of something much bigger.
As they shared their creation with friends and family, they were met with an overwhelming response. Others wanted to memorialize their pets in the same way, with a personalized and meaningful tribute. Many wanted to celebrate the lives of their current pets as well. The couple saw an opportunity to bring value to the lives of pet parents everywhere and decided to turn their creation into a business.
But it wasn't just about creating a successful company. They wanted to make sure that they were doing things right - sourcing materials locally, manufacturing in the USA, and working with other small businesses to make it happen. They created a community to provide support through pet loss and to enrich pet parents' relationships with their furry family members. They knew that by doing so, they could be in service to others while honoring the memory of their beloved Ruby.
They knew that pet parents everywhere were just like them - their pets were family, and they showed it. They wanted to offer something that could help other pet parents memorialize their furry family members in the same way. And so, their brand was born - a brand that values authenticity, community, and service to others.
Today, their brand continues to grow, touching the lives of pet parents everywhere, and honoring the memory of their beloved Ruby. Whether they have passed or are still with us, Whisker & Fang honors your adventures together and celebrates the value of every life.
