I discovered this book when I was struggling with the decision to have my 23 year old horse put down. I read it, teary eyed, from cover to cover the night I received it. This book allowed me to see that the feelings I was having were perfectly normal and I was not alone. It also helped me to learn what to expect when the time came. I would like to thank Kimberly Gatto for taking the time to write this book. It was very much needed.

I was given a gift,by someone higher than myself,of a Morgan that was mine to keep and love and care for, for 34 years. When it came time for my final gift to Mac,I buried a part of my soul with him. I purchased this book some 18 months after his death and read how countless others dealt with the same emotions and grief that I experience even now. The poetry and sayings were especially meaningful to me. I think horse folk should read this book as a means to an end; for me, that is love them while you have them with you,for ever how long that may be.

I had just lost my 5 yr. old Tennessee Walker filly to colic and was grieving terribly. We had her cremated at the Guardian Afterlife facility in California. They suggested this book. After I read it, I felt better. It offered good suggestions (which I took). I highly recommend it to anyone who has lost their special friend.
