Let the healing begin, 22 Jun 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coping with Sorrow on the Loss of Your Pet (Paperback)
I bought this book and read it after my beloved cat, Dexter, passed away after 14 wonderful years. I was devestated and didn't know how to deal with the intense pain that I felt. Reading this book was such a comfort to me. It let me know that it was alright for me to cry when I needed to and that crying was an outlet so that my sadness wouldn't build up inside me. Also, it helped me deal with others who didn't understand my sorrow and would say things like 'it was just a pet and you can get a new one'. And most of all, this book let me know that I was not alone - it was full of wonderful advice from other pet owners who had lost a pet on ways to deal with the loss. It was nice because it offers many different opinions on how to grieve for the loss of your pet so that you could find the one that works best for you. It made me focus on the good times that Dex and I had and to remember him that way rather than just remembering that he was gone.

Excellent Help for Grieving Pet Owners, 11 Aug 1998
By nanetteb - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coping with Sorrow on the Loss of Your Pet (Paperback)
I bought this book after losing two beloved pet house rabbits in just 3 weeks. I found it hard to even talk about to others but Ms. Anderson's book is written intelligently and with great understanding about the feelings of pet owners toward their pets. The chapter on emotional reactions to pet loss alone really helped me explore the guilty and angry feelings I felt and is worth the price of the book. I recommend this book to animal lovers who have suffered a devastating loss.

Intense grief about a pet's death is normal., 10 Dec 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coping with Sorrow on the Loss of Your Pet (Paperback)
Ms. Anderson's book describes the emotional turmoil a person may feel upon the death of a pet. Through the use of case histories and personal observations, the normal grieving process is discussed and coping mechanisms are explored. Complications to the healing process causing additional anxiety and pain are identified. Common issues are addressed such as close friends or family not understanding why someone is so upset ("it was just a pet"); positive methods to help deal with feelings; euthanasia issues and when the time is right, how to prepare for a new pet. This book played an important role when dealing with the death of my pet companion of over 15 years.
