the loss of a family member addressed with care
I got this book for my mother who is grieving the loss of her dog Sooty. It had assisted reader enabled so that was perfect for a woman who struggles at 88 years to see print anymore. She cried as she listened and when I asked her she said the best thing was the acknowledgement that pets are important and you have the right to grieve them. She took away some good tips for coping and said she was glad to have read it.
