Healing After Pet Loss
Briefly

Grief over losing a pet is a deeply felt experience that many people face, often feeling disenfranchised when their emotions are not recognized by others. Beth Bigler's book, "Honoring Our Animals: 365 Meditations for Healing after Pet Loss," provides a compassionate resource for those dealing with this pain. Bigler emphasizes that grief is an evolving relationship rather than a conclusion, helping pet owners navigate their feelings and maintain the connection with their deceased companions. The book aims to validate and articulate these feelings, allowing individuals to feel less alone in their grief journey.
