Remembering Archie: Our family journey through the loss of a beloved companion Artwork

Vegan Fam In Cow Town

Let's talk about how to raise vegan kids and empower vegan families in a world that is far from plant-based, especially in our piece of the Mid-West. How do we navigate parties, daycare and school, the pediatrician's office, and travel? How do we express our beliefs about vegan family life in a culture that takes kids to the zoo and where even the pumpkin patches feature exploited animals? It's easy...with this vegan fam pod! We have decades of experience being vegans and raising vegans, even when the in-laws don't like it. Everyone is welcome, vegan or not, and we welcome parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and everyone. Tune in, suggest topics, and share in fam life to the power of V!

Remembering Archie: Our family journey through the loss of a beloved companion

February 09, 2020 • Vegan Fam In Cow Town • Season 1 • Episode 11

Our family lost our goofy, wonderful, loving dog in December, unexpectedly. We learned so much together about grief, compassion, and remembrance. This episode shares what we learned about grieving with children, something that was new to us, and you hear from the children about their experience upon the death of our loved one, Archie. We tell you how we said goodbye and what helps us the most as we continue to adjust to what this loss means in our lives.
