Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is one of the best tools I have come across in helping deal with pet loss. It is well written and organized, sensitive and thorough. I am recommending Enid Traisman's work to my patients who are struggling with this most difficult time."

Herbert Nieburg, Ph.D. Author-Pet Loss : A Thoughtful Guide For Adults and Children (Harper-Collins) -- Delta Conference

"This gentle and enchanting journal is an excellent place to celebrate the life and passing of a much-cherished animal companion. It encourages a deep and healing introspection, gives tribute to the unique gifts of out animal companons, and documents our path into, up, and beyond the dark hollow of mourning and grief. This journal is a kind and compassionate anchor, leading us gently and surely through the tangled paths of grief, helping us to find our feet again, to seek love again. Beautifully, thoughtfully done. Thank you!"

5.0 out of 5 stars The best journal anyone could ever own, March 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: My Pet Remembrance Journal (Paperback)

This is one of the best journals and books around for dealing with the loss of your furry friend. It takes the reader from the beginnings of having a pet and writing down why you made the decisions you made, to the winding down of your furry friend's life. There are areas for photos and and plenty of room to write down memories both pleasant and unpleasant. It also goes through the feelings of grief and the transitions a person makes through the grief. I have given this journal to many friends and all of them have loved it tremendously.

I think this is a beautiful journal to keep all of the memories of your precious animal that you miss so much. I like the little things like the first time you saw them and what happened the first time you brought them home.
There are pages for photos and other things you might like to keep, like fur etc. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the beautiful memories of their pet.

This review is from: My Pet Remembrance Journal (Paperback)

When my dog died, I was devastated. This journal gave me a place to put those feelings. It gave me a place to remember him. I didn't give it a 5 star, because I would have liked to see a bigger book with more questions and journal space. Otherwise, it was great. I apprecaite the author for writing it.
