I have never lost a pet like this and it is really hard on me. Loki Love December 21st, 2012, 10:45 PM I haven't read it personally, but have heard good things about this one : Saying Good-Bye to the Pet You Love: A Complete Resource to Help You Heal by Lori A Greene sugarcatmom December 22nd, 2012, 01:14 AM A really good book on dealing with the death of a pet is by Dr. Wallace Sife, the founder of the Association of Pet Loss and Bereavement: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764579304/drwallysife There's also a list on the APLB website of other books on the same subject: http://aplb.org/resources/books.html And I highly recommend checking out the chat room at the APLB: http://aplb.org/chat/ They are hosted several times a week by counsellors trained specifically in coping with pet loss. If anyone understands what you're going through, they do. patchdog December 22nd, 2012, 10:22 AM Thanks so much. I will have to check out the chat and the books as well. My heart is so heavy right now and I just do not know how to feel or what to do about it. Luvpearls June 20th, 2017, 09:01 PM If you want something like a work of fiction, The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein will warm your hearts. Luvpearls June 21st, 2017, 09:33 PM It was titled "Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet" By: Gary Kowalski It has nice reviews in Goodreads. I'll try to search an ebook for my Kindle. | ||||
