Julianne Hough Shares Experience of “Soul Retrieval” Ceremony Following Loss of Her Dogs
“In the book, Lexi goes through a loss and so I wrote this song,” she explained, “very intentionally about my soul fraction or fragmentation, and that loss with my girls, and the worst kind of pain I’ve ever experienced of grief.”
The Rock of Ages actress has been candid on the pain she felt after Lexi and Harley were killed by coyotes while she was away at a bachelorette party in Lake Tahoe in 2019.
“I had just arrived that night and went to sleep,” she recalled to Jamie, “and I woke up before my phone even rang and I knew. And I picked up the phone, and my assistant at the time was just like screaming.”
Luckily, Julianne’s assistant was able to find the bodies of the two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Julianne made it back home as quickly as possible to spend time with them before she had them cremated.
