My beloved Jack Russell Terrier of 15 years passed away in July of 2013. I am still mourning his loss, and I know a part of me will never be the same now that he's gone. After he died, there was such emptiness, such longing (and there still is, in some ways). I really, truly felt like nobody understood, or maybe even that my feelings were extreme (my dog's death affected me more than some family members' deaths through the years). I have a five year old son (who was also missing his buddy), so I knew I had to pull myself together. But that was easier said than done. Eventually I wound up at an amazing pet loss support group, one of the only ones I could find locally. And that's when I was given this book. I loved the support group so I took the book home and started reading it (almost reluctantly). I didn't see how any more written words could help. But these words did, I assure you. First and foremost, it's written by pet lovers who truly "get it." They've been there and they understand. Every chapter touched on the feelings I was going through- it almost made me chuckle because it was so intuitive. The authors have led many, many pet loss support groups through the years so they know first-hand what people go through after losing beloved pets. I also appreciated how they referred to our pets as "companions" instead of constantly saying "pets," because they really are so much more than that. My dog was absolutely my beloved companion and friend for 15 years. So if you feel/felt like I do/did- if you're lost and feel like you're alone with these tremendous feelings of sorrow, this book really might help you to not feel so alone and to figure out what to do with some of those extreme feelings.
