Cold Noses at the Pearly Gates by Gary KurzFrom my heart to yours, a serious look at animal afterlife. There are no words that can change the feeling of emptiness we feel with the loss of that special "friend" who shared our heart and life. Their unconditional love and devotion are missed as much as their splendid and unique personality. But we can replace the grief with joyful anticipation when we realize that there is hope and comfort to be found. The words of this book are offered to guide you to that place. You may begin this book a skeptic, but you will end it with a newfound hope and a lot to think about. Paperback 1 edition (May 1, 1997) Gary Kurz The best price for this book is at Amazon.com.

The Loss of a Pet : New Revised and Expanded Edition by Wallace Sife (Introduction) It's OK to cry...... Dr. Sife has found the courage in his work, to allow us to boldly go through all of the emotions of grief - as is usually applied to the loss of a human - in the loss of a beloved animal friend. Our relationships with animals are often so intense that, if we are honest with ourselves, we find that they are often the beings we trust unconditionally with our secrets and our souls. This book gives the reader permission to grieve, a guided path down the road through the grief process, and skills to lead them to the healing process. He does not take these losses lightly - but rather helps the survivor understand their powerful grief. Through this work I have come to understand that the loss of a pet is significant, and can be life altering. I thank Dr. Sife for helping me to find the space and the human contact (counselors and support groups are listed in the book) through which I came to understand that this loss is not to be taken lightly. Buy this book for yourself, or for a friend who has had a loss of this kind. You may never know how much that friend may need it because pet bereavement is not something everyone allows themselves to show. You may be helping a soul to heal.

Pet Loss and Human Emotion : Guiding Clients Through
Grief by Cheri Barton Ross, Jane Baron Sorensen, Jane Baron-Sorensen Pet loss is a unique form of grief that can be quite intense and debilitating, increasing an individual s vulnerability to subsequent stress and leaving them feeling isolated and misunderstood. Although society accepts that grieving over the death of a loved one is not only normal, but healthy and necessary, grieving over the loss of a pet is often seen as something childish. Expressed feelings often go unvalidated, leaving the bereaved embarrassed and ashamed. This unique guide is written for all professionals helping clients deal with the loss of a pet, and serves as a practical introduction to the field of human-animal bonding. Citing several case studies, it describes various techniques for helping clients when the bond with a pet is broken. The authors present a step-by-step guide to leading clients through this special kind of grief and offer valuable practical guidelines. Until recently, books dealing with this topic have been aimed at the veterinary community. Pet loss needs to be addressed by therapists and others in the helping professions, to better enable them to help their clients through the loss of their companion animals.

Pet Loss : A Spiritual Guide by Eleanor L. Harris My roommate laughed when he saw that I was reviewing this book, but after I pointed out how close he is to his cat, he looked at the book more seriously. Sometimes as "pet owners" we don't realize how close we are to our animal companions until we loose them, and even then we're afraid or ashamed to openly mourn and memorialize them. In Pet Loss, Eleanor Harris offers valuable advice on handling this feeling of awkwardness. Rather than repressing the emotions that surround a pet's death, Harris encourages her readers to express the pain they feel and the love they remember.

Loving and Losing a Pet : A Psychologist and a
Veterinarian Share Their Wisdom by Michael Stern, Susan Cropper, Susn Cropper I was the kind of kid who at least once a week, usually on the way home from school, would find a lost, wounded, or homeless animal and bring it home to my horrified mother, fully expecting her to adopt it. She would cringe, try and attend to the immediate needs of the poor animal, then gently but firmly guide both of us out of the house. This went on for a number of years until, faced with one dying bird too many, and suspecting that there was an endless parade of other unfortunate animals heading her way, she surprised me one day by leading me to the kitchen where the cutest puppy was looking up at me from a basket. Thus began a fifteen year love affair and a lifelong commitment to pets. I became a psychologist and quickly learned that relationships with animals, often ignored in professional literature, were of tremendous importance and always left their mark on those fortunate enough to have had them. I discovered that even the most withdrawn and silent people in my practice become emotional describing what it was like to have, and then to lose, a beloved pet. It is out of this awareness that the idea arose for a book dealing with the richness of the pet ownership experience not only in childhood but also for adults, families, and the elderly. My co-author,Susan Cropper, a veterinarian, offered her own experience with pets and their owners, and we trust that the reader will easily relate to many of the anecdotes included in "Loving and Losing a Pet". In numerous radio, television, and book signing appearances we have been greeted by people sharing tender memories of their pets. This is our proof that loving as well as losing a pet are among the most profound human experiences. We dedicate our book to those who share this conviction.
