The Loss of a Pet

A Guide to Coping with the Grieving Process When a Pet Dies: 4th edition

By: Wallace Sife PhD

Narrated by: Barry Abrams

This award-winning book has been hailed as the seminal work in the field. And now the fourth newly revised and expanded edition offers so much more to the bereaving pet owner. This edition also includes a significant new way of considering the meaning of afterlife for us and our pets. It discusses the topic from a 21st-century scientific perspective that is very different from existing religious or metaphysical ones, offering a new comfort to skeptics and agnostics as well.

This book will help you in your healing from that special loss. It includes topics such as:

• Validating this special kind of grief
• The grieving process, including typical stages of bereavement and techniques for coping
• Children and the death of a pet
• Euthanasia, including important considerations
• And more

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Thank you for the author it's the first time anything is actually helped me deal with it washing my princess my best friend my princess my baby angel so hard thank you.

My cat died unexpectedly and I needed help processing, this book was a good choice

Had helpful insight and offered a variety of perspectives. I picked it up the day after I had to unexpectedly put my cat down. Still hurts a ton and will for awhile, but gaining perspectives helped organize my emotions/ made me feel like this is a normal process and will be ok even if it's really painful right now.

Wonderful

Excellent. Just what I needed for myself and my family who is about to euthanize my grand dog who is 17 years old. We love dogs and this is breaking our hearts.

A dry book

Although the book did hold a few tools that I found to be useful, it was also repetitive, dry, soulless, and emotionless. I have found much better material since starting this one.
