About this listen
If You’re Struggling to Say Goodbye, This Book Offers Comfort in the Hardest Moments.
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.
In Goodbye, Friend: A Journey Through Pet Loss and Grieving, you will find:
- Why Losing a Pet Feels Like Losing Part of Yourself
- Unpacking the Unexpected Emotions of Pet Loss
- How to Find Peace with Euthanasia and Your Role in It
- Managing the Void Left After Losing a Pet
- How to Let Go of the "Should Haves" and Honor Your Choices
- Guiding Children Through Pet Loss Without Fear
- How to Navigate Insincere Comments Like "It Was Just a Pet"
- Ways to Celebrate Your Pet’s Life and Legacy
- How to Honor Your Pet’s Memory Comfortably
- Creating Keepsakes To Keep Their Spirit Close
- How to Know When You’re Ready for Another Pet
Let Goodbye, Friend: A Journey Through Pet Loss and Grieving be your guide to healing. I’ll walk through this journey with you, sharing my own memories of losing my golden retriever, Max.
Max wasn’t just a dog; he was my shadow, my comfort, and my greatest source of unconditional love. When I lost him to lymphoma, the grief felt overwhelming, like a weight I couldn’t lift. But through sharing his story—the struggles, the love, and the lessons he left behind—I hope to bring you comfort and understanding as you navigate your own loss.
You’re not alone in this, and together, we’ll find a way to honor their memory while healing your heart.

Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.

Losing one’s dog is one of the most difficult experiences we go through and it’s hard to find solace. However, the profound, four-legged narrator of I’m Still Here has nothing but good news for humans. The free verse is equally rhapsodic about the eternal nature of our souls and the amazing sound of crinkly wrappers that means cheese is about to be sliced. This very good dog proclaims that love never dies, that we will meet again, and that if you ever doubted that humans are magnificent creatures, look no further than the humble ball.

When you know, you know
Anyone who has lost a pet understands the immense amount of pain associated with having to say goodbye. It can feel like such an isolating and lonely time.
This book will remind you that it is okay to grieve, how to grieve, how to celebrate what you shared, and how to move on.
While this subject can be painful to broach in any scenario, I am glad I had this book to help me through this time. Nothing will ever make it easy, but knowing that others have experienced the same thing and that there are tips to help was refreshing.
Highly recommended.

Heartfelt Guide
Losing a pet is one of the hardest things I have gone through. When we had to say goodbye to my beloved Boxer. I wasnt sure how to process the grief. I was struggling. This book makes you feel understood. It walked me through different emotions from sadness to guilt to moments of joy in remembering. I really appreciated how it felt like a conversation not a lecture. It reassured me that healing is not about moving on but about keeping the love alive in a way that feels right. If you or your family are struggling with the loss of a pet this helped me find comfort when we needed it most.

Finding Comfort in Loss
This audiobook gently navigates the deep grief that comes with losing a pet. It acknowledges the emptiness and emotional weight while offering thoughtful ways to process loss and cherish memories. I appreciated the focus on honoring a pet’s life rather than just coping with their absence. The sections on handling guilt and finding peace with euthanasia were especially meaningful. If you’re struggling with saying goodbye, this brings both comfort and understanding, helping you move forward while keeping their spirit close.

It’s helping me prepare in a healthy way, and I know I’ll return to it when the time comes.

Really helpful!
This audiobook offers both emotional support and practical advice for coping with the loss of a pet. Owen Whitmore provides helpful strategies for managing grief, honoring your pet's memory, and supporting children through their sadness. Calvin Sweers' clear and reassuring narration enhances the experience. Recently, a friend of mine suffered the loss of their family dog, who was kidnapped and is still missing. I've witnessed her struggle, holding onto hope for her pet's return. This audiobook could offer her comfort and guidance during this difficult time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking solace and understanding after the loss of a beloved animal companion.
