Understanding helps heal the hurt when you lose a pet. This award-winning book has been hailed as the seminal work in the field.

This book will help you in your healing from that special loss. It includes topics such as: * Validating this special kind of grief* The grieving process, including typical stages of bereavement and techniques for coping
* Children and the death of a pet
* Euthanasia, including important emotional considerations
* Religion and the death of a pet, with articles by various religious leaders
* Aftercare facilities, including an extensive index of pet cemeteries, crematories, and memorial gardens And there is a special chapter at the end, offering helpful hints and suggestions.
Review Quotes
"Pets are not only healing presences, they also bring the magic of unabashed love into our lives. So when one of them dies, the loss can be crushing-and lingering. This book, The Loss of a Pet, is healing balm for those who are in the midst of this grief." -Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
