Best pet-loss book I've read September 26, 2009

This is the best of the pet-loss/grief books I've read. We recently lost our faithful dog at age 9--far too soon. This book says whats in my heart. It feels like I wrote it, so much of it rang true. I highly recommend it to anyone who is grieving and especially if they have no or too little support around them. No one can understand or relate unless they too have lost a pet who was a family member. This author can take the place of friends or family who don't get it. She discusses all the stages of grief and how they specifically relate to animals, ie: feeling guilty for making the decision to euthanize. So many people will get another pet immediately, but I always feel angry at the mere idea of some other animal sleeping in my pet's place, or wanting my affections. She addresses this issue too, so I knew my feelings weren't abnormal. I'm sure this will help anyone in a pet loss situation.

This book was really insightful and helped me grieve the loss of my cat. It helped put things in perspective and was to the point. The author sited personal experiences which validated her empathy and understanding.

In 2 years i lost my 19 year old kitty and 18 year old kitty. I had looked for a long time for a book that would give me comfort and explain what i was feeling. Pets are members of the family and when they pass it can be a very hard thing to deal with. This book has helped me and i hope it help why ever gets it.
