Doesn’t shy away from difficult issues, reassuring, original

At first, this book covered the basics I’d heard in many pet grief books. I’m glad I continued listening, because it soon covered issues the other books didn’t. I found the personal stories very powerful, especially the way they examined feelings of guilt and responsibility for the pet’s death. I have rarely seen topics such as accidents, receiving an unhealthy pet from a breeder, lost pets, and the feelings brought up by these tragic circumstances. I have lived with terrible guilt for being unable to pay for expensive hospital care for a pet, at certain points in life, to attempt to save their life. This, despite the fact that I can’t pay for out of pocket medical expenses for my own serious illness, to extend my life. I have never felt my guilt was so well understood as I do, after reading this book. I love that the author treats the loss of a hamster, chicken, cat, or dog equally. There is no hierarchy of love. I wish there were more stories included about supernatural pet encounters, which were only touched on. I would love it if she wrote a sequel, and expounded on her experiences (and others’)! Please be warned that the book begins by talking about how to handle a pet’s terminal illness, enjoy your last days together, etc. I read it just after losing the cat love of my life, and it brought that time back. You may want to skip that part if your loss is still raw, but I’m glad I didn’t, in the end. I was relieved to find I’d done many of the recommended things, like focusing on my time with my living cat (not only on his dying), making preparations, and listening to meditations with him, specifically a story where the reader said his name over and over. He loved it! I did find the description of the euthanasia process a bit romanticized…the book didn’t discuss times when euthanasia is traumatic, or the animal appears distressed (even if it’s just postmortem movement, sometimes). Before I found 3 stage euthanasia (pre-sedation, anesthetic, and then euthanasia), it didn’t seem peaceful for some. I have allowed some to pass at home, but I hope I always know a vet who performs this, if it’s necessary. Guilt over euthanasia was discussed, and I felt freed from isolation with these feelings. Overall, it was a wonderful book, which has greatly helped me with my healing. I will probably read it again, though it is not light reading…be prepared to cry (a healthy part of the healing process). Just make sure you take some time to practice good self care while reading. I listened, laughed, cried, took breaks, and came back to it. I’m so glad I did!

Thank you!

Repairing the heartbreak If pet loss grief is a very helpful and an insightful book.

So lost in grief

Love that this provides practical advice for how to deal with loss. This is a combo of both understanding and also straight forward advice of how to start taking day by day

Relatable

I enjoyed this book. It offered a lot of basic advice, but I appreciated it nonetheless as I haven’t found many books dedicated to pet loss that hit the mark. This will be one I come back to with the grief hits hard again. I’m glad I’m not alone in feeling this way.

Must read when struggling with the loss of your pet

I’ve been really struggling with guilt since the recent unexpected loss of my furry bestie, and this book really helped me gain perspective, comforted me, and lead me on the path to healing during this terrible time.

In my humble opinion this is a must read/ listen for anyone struggling w/ the loss of a fur baby/ friend/ family member etc. I believe the contents of this book to be potentially informative & healing for a good number of people. So much of it rang true for me personally. And I can only give my honest & heartfelt advice which is.....
to get this book if you've ever loved & lost one (or more) of these wonderfully beautiful creatures. Oh! But I also highly recommend having some tissue near by! 😏 Especially towards the end of the book. (The last chapter or so.) Chances are good you will need them. I know that I did!
Thank you to you C.Jeffries for writing this book. It is quite apparent to me that you are a truly beautiful compassionate soul with much wisdom to impart. Peace love and light to you (and all). - Very Sincerely,
A deeply touched reader. 😌😻🙏

A blessing to our lives.

The author presented this in a beautiful way. She made it personal by sharing her loss and how she worked through the grieving process.
Taking time to work through the different stages and process the grief was absolutely essential.
I would highly recommend this book.
