Losing your animal companion can be as hard or harder than losing your family and friends. This is because, in addition to losing a loved one, most of the time you have to decide when and how to let them go. It is a terrible burden.Many of us feel guilty about our decisions, wondering if we did the right thing. Did we put them down too early? Did we wait too long? Did they suffer? After they are gone, we miss them fiercely. Often others don't acknowledge the depths of our grief (it was only an animal, for goodness sake, get over it). But we go through the same grieving process as people do when our friends and family die. We want to find peace about the loss in a way that honors our feelings of grief and our mutual love with our animal. Maribeth has felt people's pain, before, during, and after the loss of a pet. She has been touched'and has touched'our animal friends as they lived and after they transitioned. She knows the great joy her pets have given her from listening to them and learning from them. She has witnessed the release of guilt and the cloaking of comfort that have enfolded her clients as they learned to accept the spiritual nature of their animal companions.This book is designed to show you the way to not only grieve but to honor your pet and your relationship long after they have passed on. It uses real-life stories to help you find peace and experience a connection with the pet you have lost.
