The Quicky

When a pet dies it can be as painful as losing a family member, but it's a grief that many of us feel guilty about.  Today we're talking to a pet bereavement counsellor about the psychology behind the strength of the human-animal bond.

But if you ask those who consider themselves part of the Single Positivity Movement, Timm is the real winner here.  Today we're going to look into the sudden surprising rise of this moment, and dig into the figures that we're actually happier and healthier without a partner.
