Customer Reviews

Love the concept, hate the book

It is SO short. Like there are 5 words per page and they skip a page with one illustration. It is a beautiful book, don't get me wrong but it did nothing for me and I lost my cat a year ago whom I had for 17 years. I could have found the exact same poem online or hate to say it, even wrote it myself. Everyone loves this book, but I guess I missed the point. It will make a nice gift but it was too short and simple to have an impact on me. :( very sad, i was looking forward to it

For Anyone Who Has Ever Lost A Special Friend

"Weep Not For Me" is a tiny book filled with a beautiful poem by Constance Jenkins eulogizing a beloved cat, and beautiful sugar lift etchings by Pat Schaverien. The book is intended to help people cope with the loss of a pet, and while it's written about a cat, it's a beautiful poem for any animal lover experiencing loss. Uniquely, it's written from the viewpoint of the cat, and provides reassurance for grieving pet owners. For those truly distraught there is a list of contacts for the United States and the United Kingdom for people having difficulty coping with their loss. The book is perfect for anyone who has lost a pet; I recently gave a copy to a friend who had lost a cat, and it was very well received. I recommend this book for those who've lost a special friend.

Surprise Bonus

This little book has a surprise bonus - the watercolor renditions of beloved cats. The sentiment, and especially the pictures, reminded me of some of my forever friends in ways I did not expect.

It sure helped me

I am knee deep in grief over the loss of my beloved cat. This wonderful little book helped a lot.

EXCELLENT

THIS WAS A EXCELLENT BOOK FOR YOURSELF OR AS A GIFT. A MUST FOR ANYONE WHO HAS LOST A BELOBED CAT.

Directly to the Heart

It is a beautiful, beautiful poem that she's written and published in this book. It's heartbreaking and consoling at the same time. Having just lost one of my Babies, one of my little children, it was very moving. I highly, highly recommend it for anyone who has been so unfortunate as to have lost one of their "little children" too.
