A Dog's Devotion

When Someone We Love Dies… What Happens After?
How do we help a child understand death, grief, and the overwhelming emotions that come with losing someone they love?
In this deeply meaningful episode of A Dog’s Devotion, I’m joined by acclaimed author Diane Namm, who has written more than 70 books for children, young adults, and adults. Her beautiful picture book, What Happens After?, tackles one of the most difficult subjects we can ever face: loss.
Diane gently explores what grief can look like, why every person grieves differently, and how we can help children navigate the loss of someone they love—whether that loss is human or animal.
As Kirkus Reviews describes it, the book is “a simple, emotionally effective exploration of loss.”
This is an important conversation for parents, grandparents, teachers, caregivers—and anyone who has ever had to help a child through heartbreak.
❤️ If you know a child who is grieving, this episode may be exactly what they need to hear.
Listen, share, and join us for a conversation about love, loss, grief, and finding a way forward.
🐾 A Dog’s Devotion — because sometimes our greatest lessons about love come from those we have lost.
