Parting Words/Parting Ways: Saying Good-Bye to Your Pet

Summary: Wonderful Support & Validation!
Review: This is the first book on pet loss I've found that is actually a support group on paper! The letters from people all over the world are so touching and soul-baring, it's amazing that writing a letter like this can help heal a person, but I've done it now, and it does help. Before I read this book, I didn't feel ready to actually talk about my feelings to other people. I know there are support groups for people who have lost a pet, although few and far between, but somehow voicing my innermost feelings and crying in front of people wasn't something I felt comfortable doing. Now that Laura (I feel like I can be on a first-name basis with this author!) explained ways to process the myriad of feelings that accompany losing a pet, and the letters have made me feel like there are people who really do understand how devastating this kind of loss can be, I feel ready to move along the path of healing. THANK YOU!
