If you’ve found that your family and friends don’t seem to understand the level of your grief, please know that, too, is normal. Without comparing our relationships with our pets to those with people, we know that, because of the unique emotional relationships we have with our pets, their deaths produce a level of pain that is difficult to describe. If you relate to any or all of these sentences, this book is for you. We have been there and most probably will be there again. We will be with you on this journey to help your heart deal with the absence of your cherished companion. —Russell, Cole, and John Your relationship with your pet is special—it’s a bond that is very different than those that human beings share with each other. When a beloved pet passes away, people often resort to incorrect mechanisms to deal with the grief, such as trying to move too quickly past the loss (dismissing the real impact), or even attempting to replace the pet immediately. However, these are merely two myths out of six that the authors discuss and dismantle in The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss. Based on the authors’ Grief Recovery Method®, this book addresses how losing a pet is different from losing a human loved one, and ultimately, how to move on with life. Review: This is a great book to have to be able to read after ... - This is a great book to have to be able to read after loosing your beloved family pet. I know because I've gone through it recently enough and this wasn't the only book I turned to besides an animal communicator. I have a dog business and one of my first customers had gotten a golden retriever at 6 months old and he passed away last December at 14 yrs old and I was like his 2nd mom besides his owner. I was very close to him because I had him practically every day and was there when he took his last breath. During his formative years while my golden was still alive, her golden picked up alot of my goldens mannerisms and sorta took his place after his passing. And the funny thing was they both had the same exact name! And she and I have become BFF through the years almost like both of our "CODY'S" brought us together. When someone looses their pet, especially when I knew how much she loved him, I know better than anyone how she was feeling and I know what they need to help heal their heart. Its a very sensitive time and if one has never had such a devastating loss, they are better off not saying anything, especially "it's only a dog"!! type of people who don't get it. Along with being there for her tenderly, I got this book for her to look through at her leisure and when she finally did, she couldn't thank me enough. People need support from others who have gone through the same thing and that loved their dog in the same way. And I understand how gutt wrenching the loss of a pet can be. Its horrible to say but its just as devastating or even more so in some cases than loosing a human being. This book was very, very helpful and it lets you know that you are not the only one the grieves for the loss of your pet and that so many others out there feel the exact same way and they love their pet as much as we love ours and still do and will always love and miss them until were together again someday. Thank you. Review: At last, Pet Loss information that can change lives... - Continues the work started with the Grief Recovery Handbook to include dealing with Pet Loss. An area where many people are told just get another one, this book acknowledges the intense loss as well as how to recover and get your life back while still honoring your lost pet. Great book, even better for parents with children so we don't set them up to think with their brain, when it is their heart that hurts. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #366,244 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #145 in Pet Loss Grief #294 in Animal & Pet Care Essays #1,450 in Love & Loss | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 311 Reviews | ## Images ![The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gK2jcm5vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great book to have to be able to read after ... *by N***Y on March 15, 2015* This is a great book to have to be able to read after loosing your beloved family pet.

An area where many people are told just get another one, this book acknowledges the intense loss as well as how to recover and get your life back while still honoring your lost pet. Great book, even better for parents with children so we don't set them up to think with their brain, when it is their heart that hurts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Advice and Support *by B***K on September 23, 2022* Having just lost a beloved dog that helped cement my relationship with my other half and grieving over her loss with great guilt and severe emotional pain, I saw this book suggested in various forums. I read it rapidly over the course of a few hours with great relief. The process outlined in the book was unwittingly begun by myself and I will now have the tools to finish my completion process to make daily life less painful. Being able to feel assured that my pain is not the only way to stay connected to the best dog I have ever owned has been freeing and having some tools to handle my crushing guilt has been very productive. The loss is no less sad, but the painful aspect is much improved. I should add that I am a lifelong animal lover who has been forced to say goodbye to many, many pets and who has never felt the kind of pain this loss caused me. This was a very big help to me as someone in new territory despite having owned pets all my life. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss - Only Gone From Your Sight: Jack McAfghan's Little Guide to Pet Loss and Grief: 4 (Jack McAfghan Pet Loss Series) - Repairing the Heartbreak of Pet Loss Grief: 3 Phases of Healing after Losing Your Best Friend --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/10862497-the-grief-recovery-handbook-for-pet-loss](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/10862497-the-grief-recovery-handbook-for-pet-loss) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
