HEALING WORDS AND HOPE IN MY TIME OF SORROW
I was desperately searching for some comfort after the loss of my beloved dog, when my daughter found this book for me. This book was such help and comfort and made me feel better after reading it. Of course, I cried a lot during my reading of the book but it is very healing. I was very impressed that the author knows the heartache that many people experience in losing their pet that he took a six-month sabbatical leave to write this book in order to help people deal with their loss. I am truly grateful to him for doing this.Please read this book if you are suffering from the loss of your pet. This book can help bring you comfort.

Gives Hope, Understanding and Peace....
After losing my beloved cat "Red" to cancer, I began searching for something about the death of animals and where they may go. It was a hard search...something people do not talk about these days. I found Goodbye Friend and it helped relieve the sorrow and pain of losing Red. It also helps to understand that what you are going through is normal. Also that you are not crazy because you grieve for your "family member" (e.i. pet) like a human. It helps to understand that everyone has their own process to get through their own loss. The poems and little stories were nice to reflect upon. This book barely touches on animal afterlife...but is a very good book with good information, reflective thoughts and validates your emotions and what you are experiencing. Another good book which has short stories of afterlife happenings of pets is "The Soul of Your Pet". ---- Bless all who have loved and lost a special animal companion for your lives are the richer!

To ease the pain
I was looking for a book that would help me through the grieving process when I lost my dog to an unexpected illness. I got more than I bargained for. This book gave an open-minded multi-religious approach toward the treatment animals after death. This book also led me through the creation of a poem. I wrote a poem for my beautiful brown-eyed puppy girl Jaqi (pronounced "Jackie"). I highly recommend this author and this book. Similar Products
