A kind book about pets, their emotions, and their relationships with people—and about how to survive the loss of a beloved pet.
Millions of people have pets, but society still hasn’t come up with any formula that would help us express our feelings, live through—and ease—the pain we experience when we lose a beloved animal. This book fills that gap in knowledge: how to accept this loss.
The author talks about dogs, cats, horses, birds, wombats, and other animals that became close friends to their owners; about what those people had to go through after their death; and about what helped them accept the loss. Thinking together with the author, you’ll be able to figure out your own experiences and reactions and choose a way that will help you cope with grief.
