                   How to Deal with losing a Pet

A 38 page practical and sympathetic guide to dealing with the sadness and emotional experiences of losing a pet.

Dear Pet Lover

Losing a pet is often as tragic as losing someone very close to you, after all pets are our extended family. They provide us with companionship, they always accept us as we are, they love us unconditionally and always provide emotional support at the times when we need it the most.

Often those around us are unable to understand the hurt and the pain, the shock and the sadness we experience when our beloved pet passes away.

Their passing leaves a massive hole, a vacuum, in our lives, and we struggle to cope as our daily routines such as walking the dog or playing with the cat are shattered leaving us all with a cold and empty feeling.

We have included many useful ideas and tips that can be incorporated into our daily lives that will help relieve the grief and sorrow.
