The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss by Russell Friedman
Nonfiction

What it’s about: This book acknowledges the intense loss as well as how to recover and get your life back on track while still honoring the loss of your furry friend. Although I still grieve, this book has helped me greatly, especially regarding friends who don’t understand and cannot comprehend why people grieve for their four-legged companions.

Is it for you? Great reading for pet lovers that have lost their precious animals. This book is helpful in taking you through the stages of grief we suffer & not feeling judged by those who couldn’t possibly understand the depth of your pain.

The Loss of a Pet by Wallace Sife
Nonfiction

I found this book to be one of the best ones written on the loss of a pet. It covers every aspect of the grief process and also talks about the possibilities of getting another pet, how to decide whether or not you are ready for one, and things to consider moving forward. It helped me mentally grasp a lot of feelings I was going through that I didn't understand. One part of the grieving process for me that I never expected to have was the feeling of guilt. I felt guilty for so many things. I was so relieved to find an entire chapter dedicated to this subject. That helped immensely. I recommend this book for anyone having a challenging time with the loss of your best friend. It really helped to understand and process the feelings I was experiencing.
