Not me crying when Grace started crying, LOVE YOU GRACE!! My heart goes out to you and your family 🤍 keep your head high!

[@Astoria88]

Not grace having me crying In the first 3 minutes😔 I know it doesn’t mean much or change anything but I’m sending you so so much love and healing Grace, death of a loved one is the hardest thing and I think we beat ourselves up for feeling these emotions but please allow yourself to grieve and take as much time as you need. We all love you to pieces but if you need time away to process this huge loss then please do and don’t feel guilty. I know sometimes it feels better in the moment to distract yourself and carry on with a smile on your face (which is so brave) but just know you don’t have to always been strong, and sometimes bottling it up will end in a big eruption of emotions, so please allow yourself to feel alllll of the emotions when they come up. Also hats off to bri for giving grace the space to honour bana, might seem like an obvious thing to do but I know from experience that sometimes friends feel like distracting and trying to make the person smile is easier, or giving the whole “yeah grandparents die” speech. I’m sure this was very cathartic for grace to speak about her bana so openly without judgment. Love to you and your family in this difficult time ❤

[@marygrigsby6200]

Thank you for this fund!!! My girl has had emergency surgery twice and both times we were panicked about the financial aspect. Drained our savings the first time and luckily was able to start a payment plan the second time. I used to work in animal rescue and you wouldn’t believe how many people surrendered their animals to us because they weren’t able to pay for emergency medical care. This fund will be so helpful ❤

[@jenwatson6975]

Oh Grace 😢 I'm so sorry love. I lost my grandpa and grandma this year too, I instantly cried as soon as u opened ur mouth to say it. We love you beautiful !!!!!

[@Mentallymuzz]

My grandma passed away a year ago this month and seeing your pain made me start sobbing. I miss my grandma so much and I’m so so sorry for your loss, just please know Grace that you’re not alone feeling this pain. I love you guys thanks for helping me through grief and feeling less alone with it.

[@bellawaterbury2331]

GRACE ❤️ I am in tears from the start. I am so sorry for the loss of your grandma, sending love to you and your family ❤️

[@isabeltuisl653]

this episode actually really comforted me. i lost my grandpa a few weeks ago and it was the first time i ever had someone close to me pass away. i was always someone who wrote off peoples grandparents passing away because i never knew what it was like but now i do and i really feel for you. love you guys 🩷

[@Ceelopez137]

My grandpa passed away when I was in middle school and it was also my first time losing someone close to me. It was the hardest time in my life and changed me forever and taught me to appreciate the ones you love. So I hope that you have a new way of looking at life and get through this hard time because I know it’s not easy.

[@SavannahLF.]

Watching this on my lunch break and seeing Grace cry made me start crying and I HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK UGHHH. Wishing you the best Gracie girl, she’s always watching over you 💓

[@meganjuliaxo]

I absolutely love how Bri turned it around to telling great memories of Bana & got Grace to laugh and smile thinking of her that’s a true best friend❤

[@rach.webb1969]

We’re all crying with you G!!!

[@MW-vm8tb]

Pet insurance and care credit helped me a lot when my cat swallowed a string and hair and needed surgery two separate times. Each time it was over $5K.

[@Brooklyncrow]

Not me crying when Grace started to 😭 I’m so sorry for your loss Grace. I lost my grandma in December and she was like my mom to me it’s so hard losing a grandparent especially one you’re so close to. I wish they could live forever. She will always be with you and watching over you. Sending you so much love 🩵

[@CassandraNadeau-ec1sv]

HOPING THE BEST FOR YOUR BABY BOSTON!!!💕 I took my 14wk old pup to an emergency vet once and then seemed negligent in a strange way that they kept harping how expensive it would be there, and pushing we should see her normal vet in the morning. We stayed up until her vet opened, and begged them to take her in when they were already overbooked. They were so kind and took her in, calling us immediately and telling us she was basically dying-something the ER vet didn't seem to have any concern over😭 We ended up losing her and it was the biggest heartbreak all around. Its so heartbreaking how much things cost, but I wish the ER vet had just let us know because thankfully we COULD HAVE figured it out...but now I'm stuck wondering if things could be different. Dogs are the best angels on earth, they truly deserve everything beautiful in life💙

[@D.marie5587]

I’m so sorry grace. I still remember losing my grandma and she was so amazing, I still miss her. I know she loved you talking story and honoring her memory. Keep her alive through your memories. ❤❤

[@victoriacocchiaro4386]

This fund is incredibly kind and thoughtful for all of the dog owners out there

[@Katiew12]

Grace I am so so sorry. I started watching this at work and was crying at my desk. So much love to you and your family❤❤❤❤

[@kamilatalks8410]

I think all of us are crying with you, grace... ): we love you ❤🕊

[@keiraf7958]

Thank you for sharing Grace. The Bana stories were so sweet and reminded me of the sweet times with my Papa before he passed. Wishing you the best through these hard times.

[@kiahmurfin9159]

I just lost my grandpa last week, I understand the feeling. Praying for your healing, love you grace!

[@nicolecrisafulli2691]

I recently lost my grandma too and I feel the exact same way, you’re not alone. Praying for you and your family❤️

[@taylormackenzie6184]

I can’t tell you how many times we went into debt trying to pay for vet bill for our senior golden retriever’s. This fund is going to be lifesaving for so many people and their puppers

[@jakedawson1459]

So sorry for your loss G.. Llosing one of the lights that help us navigate through this dark world is one of the hardest things, & your grandma seemed to really shine.. Big hugs

[@makeupsheri]

Grace 😢 I was crying with you, im so sorry for your loss. Bri,also cried during Boston's story, absolutely my worst nightmare. It broke my heart but the fund you are starting is so beautiful. Thankyou and Z.B for that. ❤

[@clairea2071]

I was listening while I was driving today and I'm NOT EVEN KIDDINGGGG I passed a car that had a licensed plate that said " bampa" .... I was like wait wft is going on, was kinda awesome. Sending so much love to you G

[@danideremer8343]

omg sending love ❤ i had someone close pass this past week as well so i loved hearing this . she will live on through you ! ❤❤

[@madiwolff5187]

Awe grace. I needed someone to cry with today on the one month anniversary of my brother dying. I’m so sorry for your loss. I hear you girl

[@oops.morgann3397]

The same thing happened with my grandma in this time period. I feel for you grace. Praying for you. ❤ we love you and she’s always still gunna be watching over you.

[@lisachandlervideos]

Thank you so much for starting the vet fund. I was so lucky I could afford when my dog had cancer treatments but I wondered what I would have done if I hadn't been so lucky to be able to at that time.

[@jenniferhull8278]

Love both you girls. Grace my heart breaks for you. That first big loss is hard, I'm so sorry. Bri you are being a great friend. Hugs to you both. Gracie see you in Nashville.

[@leahbrynjulfson2515]

My bestie grandpa died in high school and at 27 I’m still not over it 🥹 I needed this episode! Thank you grace for sharing your stories so I could reminisce on my best memories as well. Stay strong and cherish those memories as strength because that’s what they raised us to be, strong, intense, outspoken women!

[@jamiecampbell5725]

Love y’all. I relate to both stories so much. Losing my grandma was my first big loss and it wasn’t easy. Also, as a vet tech my favorite part of mu job is that we ALWAYS listen to the owners, nobody knows your pet better than you. My cat had foreign body surgery and the mental and financial strain was tough. Also the hospital I work at also has a find for emergency situations because we know that accidents happen. Sending you both a big hug and I’ll have a green tea shot at my wedding this weekend for Bana❤

[@naomij4497]

I loved hearing about your grandma 😭😭🫶🫶🫶 I’m sorry for your loss 🙏🏻💔💗🥹

[@terri.joe.live.]

Be careful carrying the casket…I walked my grandma into the church and when we set her down my finger got caught in the handle and started bleeding while we still had to carry her further…then at the burial I was in the front and the hired funeral home guys were helping and stepped in front of me to center it and I literally fell over and was literally on top of the hole so BE CAREFUL but honestly great story 💜💜

[@KatieBrubaker]

So sorry for your loss grace. She looks like an epic grandma. My grandma raised me too. Stick with the amazing memories you made with her ❤❤

[@christinecondrey9363]

Im sorry for your loss grace.. I cried w you.. Lost my dad 10 months ago and he was my best friend in the world .. Praying for your healing hunny❤

[@AmarisCynthia]

crying 3 minutes in it’s so hard losing a grandma. i’m sorry grace i love you❤️

[@makeupsheri]

Big hugs and love to you both! Better times are coming 🙏 I have to say that because I have had one devastating thing after another this year. I'm tough but I'm down rn. I blame all the weird things going on in the world, mercury in retrograde honestly is a time of chaos,growth and abrubt change. I actually study this and I am intuitive, since I was 2,so this will get better, just hang on,to each other. You're so lucky to have the friendship you do. Never let it go. Trust an older gal. I'm going to be 45 in June, and I did it ALL. This is truly the best time of your life. Love from Canada ❤

[@abby8878]

Grace 🤍 so sorry for your loss. I loved listening to all the Bana stories

[@oliviasolomon9492]

Pet emergency fund is amazing! My Great Dane got sick during covid, the animal hospital and the canine neurologist he was referred to wouldn’t let me inside to be with him and it cost over $10k in two days. Luckily I had pet insurance but it was horrible and he passed. The specialist even charged me per minute they did CPR.

[@c8thegr8_]

Glad Boston girl is okay & congrats to y’all for finding the good in a scary & bad situation 🩷

[@briannecahill5582]

I’m so sorry Grace. The loss of a grandparent is a different type of pain. Just cherish the memories and love you had with her ❤

[@gabbyking8546]

Sweet grace! Sending you love and light to you and your grandma ❤❤

[@colleenrussell2220]

Oh Grace, you poor thing!! Grandma's are the best!!! God's gift!!! My prayers and sympathy to you and your family

[@AutumnSarr]

perfect timing i was just watching an old pod from you guys 💕

[@francescacilluffo1819]

Sending so much love to you Grace (and you too Bri and Boston), I feel like we all are having crappy weeks.

[@Ceelopez137]

I feel your pain, Grace. My grandma raised me too and passed away last June. It’s still sad to think about but like everyone says, it gets easier ❤

[@gothgalsam]

losing my grandparents, specifically my nana was the hardest loss I’ve ever experienced so definitely feeling for you Grace❤

[@TerryAlexander-wb5dk]

i cried when G started crying poor G we love you!!!!

[@paigeshelby3991]

I left my dog alone for 20min and came home to her paralyzed on the ground $12,000 a specialist, and emergency surgery later… completely back to normal. No…no I did not have pet insurance

[@madisynfuentes136]

So sorry, Grace. Grandparents are so so special. Sending love and prayers ❤️

[@dshae14]

So sorry grace I lost my Mimi last year and the way you’re describing her she reminds me exactly of my Mimi and I feel for you so much ❤️❤️

[@kiahmurfin9159]

I loved seeing this pop up!!💕

[@madisonscurlock527]

So sorry for your loss girls, green tea shots are the best!! & the fund is amazing!!!❤❤

[@Spencerh52]

i paid 10 grand for my little Chloe's(yorkie) surgery not knowing if she'd survive. its been three years since and she is now 11 and still as active as she was. I saw the bill for her surgery when she was basically dying in my arms and froze but decided to do the right thing and it was so worth it. dog insurance funding is a great idea.

[@krystaldonovan6335]

Grace I’m crying with you. My nana died a year ago and I was so close to her too. It hurts so much don’t let anyone tell you not to grieve that loss

[@Julesmodeling_]

I’m so so sorry for your loss Grace! My heart is with you

[@haileywojcik19]

Grace I am so sorry for your hurting heart. I had my first big loss of one of my grandpas this year and it really hit hard. grief fuckin sucks and I hope you can find some peace and healing during this time, we love you 🫶🏼

[@NatashasWonderland]

My grandma raised me and I literally howled crying in the hospital room when she died. I genuinely felt dead inside😢 6 years later I still cry. Sorry gracieee.

[@destinyUGC]

Graceeeeeee omg I teared with you we are all here for you ❤❤❤❤😢😢

[@caitlynenns]

Hard to watch people I love so much to through such a hard time. Praying for peace ❤️

[@Kae-23]

I cried when grace cried 😭 nothing hurts more than losing a loving grandmother… I still cry about losing mine years later. feel better grace 🥺💗

[@tarastevens9773]

A lot of people say seeing cardinals is a sign of a loved one visiting you from heaven ❤

[@s_mack2231]

now i’m crying in the first 4 seconds. we love you

[@anabellajolie]

As someone who is graduating veterinary school in a month, everyone who gets a new puppy should please get pet insurance right away! (Before any illness is diagnosed because many insurance companies won’t cover pre-existing conditions.) I work in the field and would not be able to afford emergency surgery for my dog out of pocket. I am so sorry to hear about your vet experience with Boston :( it shocks me because I learned in school if a foreign body is even a possible differential, you should always at least offer x-rays +/- blood work then the owners can decline if they choose. I will also say it’s such an unfortunate thing to hear that your vet was dismissing you, because all of the vets I’ve worked with care so much about their patients and their owners. I spend 12 hours a day 6 days a week caring for patients, and I am hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and the only reason I do it is because my goal is to help animals. I hope you find a better vet that you can trust with Boston’s care! (I’ll be working at a vet clinic in Boston and would love to care for Boston some day! ❤😂)

[@haleywebb9838]

Love you so much Grace! ❤️ also regarding Brianna’s story about Boston… from what I’ve heard always get 2nd and 3rd opinions if you’re having weird feelings about the 1st opinion… especially if it’s a new vet. Idk why this happens but I’ve heard very similar stories of ppl being told completely different things by different vets. Which is so wild and sad

[@morgandehart4691]
