Part of the award-winning Grief Diaries series, Surviving Loss of a Pet features the heartwarming stories of sixteen people who share their beloved cats, dogs, and even a ferret, and along the way offer candid answers to tender questions. Touching on topics ranging from pet funerals to afterlife to the ethics of euthanasian—and everything in between—the writers invite readers into a world where they’re surrounded by the natural warmth and compassion of pet lovers around the globe.<br><br>
Surviving Loss of a Pet offers comfort and understanding for anyone facing the aftermath of their own loss of a beloved pet.
