Healing from Pet Loss - E-book - ePub

We've all loved someone, and most of us have lost someone. If the someone you've loved has four feet or maybe a beak, with some fur or feathers added, it can be a stunning blow when that loved one passes on. Healing from Pet Loss is part grief navigation guide, part workbook, and part memoir. Through its pages, you'll find comfort knowing that you are not alone in your sorrow. You'll learn that the stages of grieving are just as real during pet loss as when grieving other losses.
Healing from Pet Loss will walk you through the stages of grieving, suggest ways to honor and memorialize your relationship with your pet, and guide you toward healing. This book can also equip the person who is close to someone who is grieving from pet loss, but perhaps doesn't fully understand their loved one's reaction to the loss. Non-pet people who love a pet person can gain insight into how to help and support the grieving person.
Children's author, dog and cat mom and grandmom, children's ministry worker, and former nurse, Tiffany Dickinson shares gentle ways to care for yourself and your loved ones while grieving and growing through the profound loss of a beloved pet. Woven throughout the book are also stories, poems, and anecdotes penned throughout her own path to healing from traumatic pet loss.
