The death of a pet chapter—— AMAZING

After losing my best friend—my dog, Hank—the grief felt endless. Then I listened to one brief chapter from this book on pet loss. It was short, but its message was profound: to be thankful for the gift of such an amazing companion, rather than consumed by the pain of his absence.

Have we met before? it's like the writer was in my head!

This book is written from a perspective that I literally had to question whether the writer actually knew me or not! Extremely relatable and helpful way to shift my own perspective on where I'm at in life, at the moment! Absolutely love the way it feels like you are having a conversation with an old friend. You know that friend - the one that doesn't cosign your bullshit and tells you how it really is! But all this happens in a loving, yet, hilarious way. Recommend this essay book 9 out of 10, because no one is perfect, but this comes close.
