GRIEVING LALA: A Diagnosed Narcissist’s Unfiltered Look at Pet Loss & Vulnerability

14 min22 mars 2026

Losing my dog, Lala, has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m giving you an inside look at how I used to process grief versus how I’m handling it now. For years, therapy has been about stripping away the armor, and nothing tests that work like the loss of a "soul dog."

Lala was a Jackabee (Jack Russell & Beagle mix) who taught me more about unconditional love than most people ever could. Today, I’m being honest about the "Narcissistic Numbness" I used to feel and the visceral pain I’m feeling now. If you’ve ever wondered if a narcissist can truly love a pet, or how therapy actually changes the way we feel, this video is for you.

IN THIS VIDEO:

  • The Old Me vs. The New Me: How I would have "minimized" this loss 5 years ago.

  • The "Supply" Trap: Why pets are often the only creatures a narcissist feels safe being vulnerable with.

  • Therapy in the Raw: The specific work I’ve done to sit with grief instead of running from it.

  • Lala’s Legacy: Honoring the Jackabee who helped me become more human.
