Product Description
Product Description
Pet loss has grown as an area of concern, with greater awareness of this kind of grief. Pet ownership itself is at an all-time high; half of all UK households own a pet, and 63 percent of all U.S. households, equating to more than 69 million US households. Company and affection are the number one benefits from pets, and three-quarters of dog owners consider their pet as a child or family member. Small wonder that losing a companion animal can be devastating. It can upset a young family, present children with their first experience of death, and may also be an unwelcome rite of passage for teenagers. For older people, it can mean the complete disruption of their daily lives - at least 40 per cent rely on a pet for daily exercise. For some, pet loss evokes unresolved mourning issues from earlier losses and can have serious emotional implications. Subjects in this sympathetic and comprehensive book include: stages of grieving; when mourning mask deeper problems; dealing with those who don't understand; helping children cope; considering euthanasia; missing: when pet loss isn't death related; special loss: losing a service dog; remembering a pet; and when to get another pet.

A friend of mine gave me this book to help me come to terms with the loss of my cat; my cat had been with me for 18 years and it was hard to imagine life without her. This book helped me put things in perspective and now instead of mourning I'm celebrating the years we had together and in time I feel I'll be ready to have another pet. Thank you Mr Grey for writing a book about a subject that is often ignored; the loss of a pet can be incredibly hard to deal with. I'd recommend this book to every pet owner.

I found this book very helpful in coming to terms with the loss of a treasured pet.
Its written by a NHS counsellor/psychotherapist so provided useful advice in understanding the grieving process. Broken down into chapters such as "Deciding when its right to end a pet's life" and "Accepting loss and grief" it helped me understand my feelings.
Also for me it was also important not to continual references to god which this book doesnt.

Written in very practical and down to earth terms with obviously great understanding and empathy with the subject. I found it to be of considerable assistance in coming to terms with the euthanised death of a much loved cat
