Grieving the Death of a Pet

""Rocky's loss taught me how deeply we grieve for our loved animals, the intensity of pain and the length of time it can last,"" writes Betty Carmack, a nurse and professional pet loss counselor. In Grieving the Death of a Pet, Carmack draws from her experience of counseling more than two thousand people who have lost a beloved pet, as well as the loss of her Rocky and other furry friends. She offers the book as a kind of pet-loss support group to counter ""a world that reminds us repeatedly that grief for an animal doesn't count as much as grief for a person."" It's poignant and sometimes heartrending, filled with personal stories of love and loss as well as Scripture and thoughts on faith.
