Helped Me Through My Loss

This is a great book to read after a loss. It’s painful, tear jerking, but necessary for me to get through this pain of loss.

Very healing and beautiful

I am so thankful to have found this book. We had to let go of our 5-year-old dobie and were so broken. We’d never lost a dog before and our emotions are all new to us. Really appreciate this book and the writer for opening his heart to us to help us understand and heal. Truly brought some peace to our hearts

Very helpful for dealing with grief

I listened to this the day after saying goodbye to my dog of 15 years. It helped me acknowledge my grief and begin to heal. I recommend it to anyone with a pet, whether losing them now or not. Someday they will go, and this book may help you prepare for that inevitable transition. I highly recommend this book and can’t say enough good things about it.

Comforting to a recent loss of best fur-friend.

What made the experience of listening to Going Home the most enjoyable?

Good story.

What does Tom Stechschulte bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Comforting to hear an actual voice.

What did you learn from Going Home that you would use in your daily life?

It's ok to think about having another pet without guilt.

Any additional comments?

Well written using the author's own experience from another book, in which I was very curious and cannot wait to start this new book I just purchased. My beloved dog meant so much top me for so many years. I find myself at lost and cast adrift as she was our anchor of our life. Who am I going to come home for a loving walk with the summer breeze now??

Grounded and heart felt

Some people may not agree with everything in this book, as far as the difference between farm animals and pets. I don't entirely agree with it. The author's perspective is written in a grounded and compassionate way however, and is healing to listen to.
