hello, friend

I lost a few people and one very special dog in the last 5 years. thank you for validating my feelings about the losses. I forget that it is world wide and enjoyed the readings at the end. the author did a lot of research on the subject and it was appreciated.

Very enjoyable...

I felt it was a nice mixture of relatable stories with some non denominational scriptures. I am not religious, but enjoyed the readings and didn’t find them to be preachy in any way. I lost my best friend Joey several years ago, and still have not “moved on”, and it felt good to be able to let go a little bit more. Some laughter, lots of tears, and a pretty easy listen. If you are grieving and think you are alone, this book will help you realize that you are not, and it’s okay.

the poems at the end

I too had an in home euthanasia. I have never felt more closer to God.

His stories may bring comfort

Mostly cute stories about his dog and ways to think about your dog that is gone too soon or after a long life. It was somewhat comforting. Idk if I would buy it again if I knew what it contained or not. So probably not too helpful of a review.

Saying Goodbye to My Love Girl, Maggie❤️

This book has been very helpful, especially the ending - saying goodbye with meaningful readings, creating a special remembrance. I struggle with saying goodbye.

Great Book

I just put down my little 12 year old chihuahua 4 days ago. I had no idea i could be this distraught over a dog, even my beloved Chuli. This book normalized my grief over a dog,soothed and helped me ease through the grieving process. I pretty much kept this book on repeat in my ear buds as a little crutch to help me through the day. I’m only on day 4 from having lost my fur baby and having this audio in the background helps me find glimmers of strength through the tears.

great book made me cry a lot

this was a really good book great insight into letting go and saying goodbye. made me cry through the whole thing pretty much but it made me understand a bit better the loss of losing my best friend or best friends.

Not what I expected

Enjoyed the quotes and stories at the end but wasn't what I was looking for. Been struggling with the loss of my dog and hoped this would help.

We all will rejoin the earth/heaven.

It was helpful. But I’m still very sad of the loss of our two dogs at the same time 2 months ago.

Recommended if you are experiencing the loss of a pet

I disliked the numerous quotes in a row toward the end. I would have preferred more stories between the quotes. Recommended for anyone experiencing the loss of a beloved family pet
