Your relationship with your pet is special—it’s a bond that is very different than those that human
beings share with each other. When a beloved pet passes away, people often resort to incorrect
mechanisms to deal with the grief, such as trying to move too quickly past the loss (dismissing the real
impact), or even attempting to replace the pet immediately. However, these are merely two myths out
of six that the authors discuss and dismantle in The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss (Taylor
Trade Publishing, December 2014). Based on the authors’ Grief Recovery Method, this book addresses
the differences in losing a pet, and ultimately, moving on with life.
