The Loss of a Pet
When Only the Love Remains: The Pain of Pet Loss
Coping With Sorrow on the Loss of Your Pet
By A Customer
I bought this book and read it after my beloved cat, Dexter, passed away after 14 wonderful years. I was
devestated and didn't know how to deal with the intense pain that I felt. Reading this book was such a
comfort to me. It let me know that it was alright for me to cry when I needed to and that crying was an
outlet so that my sadness wouldn't build up inside me. Also, it helped me deal with others who didn't
understand my sorrow and would say things like 'it was just a pet and you can get a new one'. And most
of all, this book let me know that I was not alone - it was full of wonderful advice from other pet owners
who had lost a pet on ways to deal with the loss. It was nice because it offers many different opinions on
how to grieve for the loss of your pet so that you could find the one that works best for you. It made me
focus on the good times that Dex and I had and to remember him that way rather than just remembering
that he was gone.

How to ROAR: Pet Loss Grief Recovery
Robin Jean Brown understands firsthand the deep bond that can develop between person and animal.
She's not some cold psychologist, but rather a pet owner herself who dealt with her own painful journey
through the grieving process. She found that there wasn't a lot of help for her. Other books are either too
cold and clinical...or they're too sad, and just make you cry harder. And none of them had workbook-style
questions to guide her through her journey. So Robin wrote the guide herself - to deal with your grief,
effectively and step by step. She is personal, empathetic, and comforting - yet at the same time she'll
help you move through your grief.

Although Mark Levin is known as a constitutional lawyer and a nationally syndicated broadcaster, he is,
first and foremost, a dog lover. In 1998, he and his family welcomed a half-Border Collie/half-Cocker
Spaniel they named Pepsi into their lives. Six years later, his wife and son persuaded him to adopt a
dog from the local shelter, a Spaniel mix. It turned out he was older than originally thought, and he was
the most beautiful dog they'd ever seen. They named him Sprite. Their lives would never be the same.
Sprite and Pepsi became fast friends. They did everything together, from rummaging through the trash
to loudly greeting the deliveryman. And the Levin family fell in love with him -- with his gentle nature,
beautiful face and soft, huggable fur. But on Halloween night, shortly after joining their family, Sprite
suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the animal hospital. It was the first of many such visits, and the
start of a long journey for the Levin family, filled with much joy and anguish.
During the next two years, Sprite and Pepsi were inseparable. And Sprite's bond with the Levin family
deepened. Friends, neighbors, and even Mark's radio audience came to know and love Sprite. As Mark's
daughter turned eighteen and graduated from high school and Mark's son turned fifteen, Sprite's health
deteriorated -- even as his spirits remained high and his beauty and grace continued to inspire. Comfort
came from family, fans, and friends, and between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2006, the Levin family
said their emotional final goodbye. Crushed and consumed with grief, Mark turned to family, friends, and
fans for help.
But new hope came when the Levins least expected it.
Rescuing Sprite is a stunningly intimate look at the love between a family and a dog, one that movingly
shows, in Mark Levin's words, that "in the end, we humans are the lucky ones."
The author will donate a portion of his proceeds from the sale of this book to animal shelters.

After Gary Kowalski, author and the minister of Burlington Vermont's Unitarian Universalist church,
completed his new book, Goodbye, Friend, on dealing with losing your pet, his own elderly dog,
Chinook, died. In his first book, The Souls of Animals, Kowalski wrote: "My own wise friend is my dog.
He has deep knowledge to impart." Apparently, Chinook did his good work up until the end. Kowalski's
new book is full of sound, compassionate advice to get you through the loss of your pet(s). Included are
ideas for rituals and ceremonies, spiritual guidance and readings and poems to use for solace. The
author's voice is a soothing one, not surprising for a minister whose job it is to be wise and reflective.
The book also addresses animals' grieving; their life spans; their growth, illnesses and needs. These
are similar to ours: need to eat, to exercise, to sleep, to have fun, to enjoy companionship and to expect
routine. Kowalski includes advice on how to take care of yourself after the death of a pet and the
importance of honesty when talking with children about this event. Kowalski's book is not only useful for
healing when a good friend dies, but also reasserts his primary message: that animals are important,
that "pets are not petty," that they deserve our respect and our kind care. As Kowalski writes, "Animals
enrich our lives in countless ways, with their playfulness, their tranquility [sic], their constancy, and their
love..." This book will help readers mourn and remember them well.

Kim Sheridan grew up with animals as her constant companions. Each time she faced the death of a
beloved pet, along with the pain came the same questions, to which she could find no answers. Then,
mysterious things began to happen that she couldn’t explain, which led her on an incredible journey to

forever erased her own doubts about an afterlife for animals.
This book provides enormous comfort and reassurance to anyone who has ever cherished a pet, and
food for thought for anyone who has ever questioned the place of these beloved creatures in the larger
scheme of things, both here on Earth and beyond.

About the Author
Christine Davis has been an animal lover all her life. In 1995 she decided to transition out of the
corporate workplace and follow her heart toward work that would express her love and respect for
animals. Her journey led her to a woman of Native American descent who used sound as a method of
healing. By learning to listen to the sounds and songs of the natural world, Ms. Davis was able to
deepen her understanding and appreciation of animals and the many gifts they bring to us.
It was during this time the author suffered the devastating loss of her beloved dog, Martha. Unable to
find a book that understood her feelings of loss and spoke to her heart, Ms. Davis wrote For Every Dog
An Angel as a way of acknowledging the special relationship she and Martha had shared.
Shortly thereafter the author and her husband were adopted by Jake, a Border Collie and German
Shepherd mix who needed a home and some people to love....and herd. "Where will he sleep?" the
animal shelter form asked. "Anywhere he wants to" the author wrote. So Jake took his place on their bed
and in their hearts.
It was Jake who discovered the litter of kittens under the deck and invited them in to become part of the
family for he, too, had once been homeless. Jake brooded over his feline family, licking the formula off of
their faces and nosing them back if they wandered too far. But it was the author whose life was changed
forever. She hadn't realized there had been four empty places in her heart that only these little furballs
could fill. She hadn't realized how much she needed a feline fairy Godmother. She hadn't realized life
could be so much more fun if you looked at the world through the eyes of a kitten.

Dear Reader, This book is for those who share a love and concern for all animals. Anyone who has ever
loved and lost an animal companion knows the incredible pain and feeling of emptiness. Poochie, my
pet rabbit, died suddenly, at five years of age. As you read these poems, you will wish that you had
known and loved her, as I had the great privilege to do. Poochie is every dog, cat, bird, horse, rabbit,
ferret, hamster, guinea pig, or other animal that you have loved and lost. She lives in my heart and in
every animal that I will love after her. I hope that this book can be a close friend to you and a source of
comfort that will help you through the pain of losing a pet. Emily

This poignant and elegantly designed collection of stories and verse provides comfort and healing for
anyone experiencing the grief of losing a dog. An essential resource for veterinarians, bereavement
counselors, pet loss support groups, and, of course, pet owners themselves, Angel Pawprints is a
heartwarming book for anyone who has ever loved and lost a dog.
From the Author
I miss the little wagging tail;
I miss the plaintive, pleading wail;
I miss the wistful, loving glance;
I miss the circling welcome-dance.
- Henry Willett, from "In Memoriam," circa 1916 The above memoir was one of several I read at Chester's
gravesite. As Angel Pawprints went to press, I was in the midst of losing another of my beloved dogs to
cancer. In my desperate search to comfort myself during one of the most difficult times of my life, I
discovered two things. First, that our society hasn't adequately acknowledged the grief people feel when
they lose a pet. And, second, that as a result we haven't developed support systems and rituals that
allow us to adequately heal. I found that reading memoirs written by others who had experienced the
loss of a pet was most comforting to me. It allowed me to grieve and to feel like I was not alone with my
feelings. And I wanted to share that with others who have lost a pet. So Angel Pawprints was born--a
beautiful anthology of pet memorials expressing the deep love men and women have for their pets. Its
60 rare vintage photographs portray, in black and white, the sparkle in the animals' eyes and the
unconditional love in their souls. The heartwarming poems and memoirs date back to the 1800's,
written by noted writers as well as anonymous dog lovers, all cherishing the memories of their most
faithful companions. In the same way that we tend to keep treasures of loved ones who've passed on,
this classic and poignant book, with its vintage writings and photographs, creates a sense of peace and
permanence. It provides us with a license to remember--and an urge to heal and cherish the memories.
Angel Pawprints is a precious gift to be treasured by anyone who has ever loved or lost a dog. It's also
an essential resource for veterinarians, bereavement counselors and pet loss support groups. As well

Stories that address the grieving process of humans and animals who have lost their companions and
that give advice on how best to help yourself and others recover
Gives practical advice on recovery, including self-care, support systems, and homeopathic recipes, and
also discusses the painful topic of euthanasia
The first book to address the topic of animal grief at the loss of a companion, explaining how to
recognize grief in animals and how to help them heal
Anyone who has lost a treasured animal companion knows that this can be as devastating as losing a
human loved one. Unfortunately, our society's sympathy with this loss is not commensurate with the
actual grief people feel. Kaetheryn Walker fills this void by presenting true stories of the grief process
she and others went through after the death of their animal companions. She gives practical advice on
recovery, including daily self-care, support systems, and homeopathic remedies, and discusses the
painful topic of euthanasia as well. Her book is also the first to address the important topic of animal
grief at the loss of a companion. She explains how to recognize grief in animals and how to help them
heal.
About the Author
Kaetheryn Walker has worked in animal care for 25 years. She holds a master's degree in veterinary
homeopathy and gives workshops on animal homeopathy for acute and chronic illness. The author of
Homeopathic First Aid for Animals, she lives in Belfast, Maine.

The first book to address the topic of animal grief at the loss of a companion, explaining how to
recognize grief in animals and how to help them heal
Anyone who has lost a treasured animal companion knows that this can be as devastating as losing a
human loved one. Unfortunately, our society's sympathy with this loss is not commensurate with the
actual grief people feel. Kaetheryn Walker fills this void by presenting true stories of the grief process
she and others went through after the death of their animal companions. She gives practical advice on
recovery, including daily self-care, support systems, and homeopathic remedies, and discusses the
painful topic of euthanasia as well. Her book is also the first to address the important topic of animal
grief at the loss of a companion. She explains how to recognize grief in animals and how to help them
heal.

From the Author
During the difficult time after our beagle died in April 2003, I was unable to find a book on pet loss that
our family could share; nothing "spoke to me". That summer, I wrote a book on the subject-geared
towards families with young children-after it occurred to me that writing our story would be therapeutic
while also helping other families going through the same thing. My story, accompanied by black and
white photographs and the stunning cover designed by my sister, has been transformed into a book that
I know will make an impact on families of all kinds.
