A Tribute to My Beloved Animal: A Journal to Process Grief & Loss

Bereavement, the experience of loss, literally means being torn apart. With fellow humans, especially loved ones, our relationships are complex; they are full of highs and lows, break-ups and misunderstandings, arguments, and hurt feelings. Our companion animals, however, always seem to make us feel better, even on our worst days. We come to rely on their unconditional devotion, and the purpose and fulfillment they bring into our lives. The profound bond we share with our animals thus evokes intense grief when they become sick, go missing, are nearing the end of their lives, and pass away. This guided journal, written by Katie Lawlor, Doctor of Clinical Psychology, is an effective and heartfelt tool for processing this grief. Intended to meet you where you are on this journey, the objective is understanding and progress, not perfection. This journal provides a protected space to safeguard your thoughts and feelings, while learning effective coping skills that aid you in finding clarity, peace, and healing. As you progress through these pages, every word you write is a tribute to the life you shared with your animal. — ISBN13: nan
