Pet grief is still grief – this book about pet grief recovery offers emotional validation and practical guidance for your path toward healing. Pet loss is one of life's hardest emotional experiences. The empty food bowl that will never need filling again. The leash hanging silently by the door. The sudden stillness in spaces once filled with purrs, barks, or gentle footsteps. When we lose a pet, we lose not just an animal, but a piece of our daily life, a source of unconditional love, and a cherished soul who shared our most intimate moments.

You're not alone in mourning—it's possible to move past the denial, start the healing, and memorialize your beloved pet, even if the pain of loss feels overwhelming. Losing a pet can feel like losing a member of your family. Their absence leaves an ache in your heart that may seem impossible to heal. Do you continually find yourself asking, "Why is this so hard?" Are you desperate to explain your pet's loss to your child, but you just can't find the right words? Do you yearn to hold onto their memory, yet unsure how to keep their spirit alive?

Losing a pet feels like losing a part of yourself. They weren’t just animals—they were companions, confidants, and family. Their absence creates an empty space, leaving behind quiet moments and loneliness that can be hard to explain. Grieving a pet is deeply personal, layered with emotions like sadness, guilt, and anger. You may feel regretful over the things left undone. Memories bring both tears and smiles as the pain of their absence clashes with the joy they brought.

Death transforms not just the patient and family, but the hospice nurse as well. The stories in this book are presented with the hope that their transformation extends to you, too. Heidi Barr, R.N.
