Editorial Reviews

Review

“Offers a wide range of healing activities, compassionate reflection, and practical help for honoring and memorializing the life of your pet.”
Dr. Marty Becker, resident veterinarian on ABC’s Good Morning America

“Allen and Linda Anderson’s book gives us permission to acknowledge the intense bond we have with our animal companions and the deep loss we can experience after their deaths. It provides helpful stories, exercises, and memorial services respecting a variety of beliefs. Infused with kindness, their work offers us help, hope, and a rainbow during the storm. I have learned from it and will celebrate and share it.”
— The Reverend Mary Piper, Episcopal priest and chaplain, cofounder of the pet loss support program at Heart of the Valley Humane Society in Bozeman, Montana

“This masterful and beautiful book is rich with wisdom, inspiration, and sound advice....With sensitivity and compassion as well as practical information, the Andersons gently and deftly guide us through the complex labyrinth of emotions associated with grief. I highly recommend this thoughtful, illuminating, and comforting book.”
Diane Pomerance, PhD, creator and director of the Pet Grief Counseling Program, SPCA of Texas, and author of When Your Pet Dies


Product Description

In this thoughtful book, Allen and Linda Anderson walk you through the numbing pain and dreadful sense of loss that arise when a beloved animal dies. They offer solace to help you deal with grief, remember and honor key moments in the animal’s life, find comfort through groups and with professionals, and get past the depression. They also include exercises, affirmations, and meditations to use through the various stages of grief. The Andersons’ caring, practical advice covers all aspects of pet loss, offering guidance on:

helping children grieve :: honoring your religious beliefs :: grieving for runaway pets :: helping others know what to say or do to console you :: planning an appropriate memorial ceremony or tribute

The book also explores the concept of after-death experiences of departed companion animals and relates many beautiful stories, including the Rainbow Bridge story, that reinforce the love and sense of peace that come from honoring the place animals hold in our lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saying Goodbye to Your Angel Animals , October 9, 2008
Losing a Pet is a difficult thing. Often we depend upon our animal friends to comfort us after a long hard day at work and to love us unconditionally when the world seems harsh. In the process, our pets become something more than just animals. Therefore, when we lose them or have to make the decision to end their pain or suffering, it's like losing a part of the family.

Grief for any loved one doesn't always look the way that other people think we should react. There are always those who are uncomfortable with emotions, those who insist that you should just get over it already. It's just an animal after all.

Saying Goodbye to Your Angel Animals is meant to help you through the process of loss. Through various exercises and meditations, readers will come to grips with their sadness, anger, and guilt so that they can hold only the good memories to their heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Effective Book for Dealing with the Loss of Your Pet, February 13, 2009
By Kim Link (Cumming, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Allen and Linda Anderson never fail to deliver a wonderfully well-written book. This book is no exception. It contains a lot of useful information about dealing with the sadness and grief that anyone inevitably feels upon the loss of a pet. I think the best part of the book is that it offers many different ways to honor your pet's memory and celebrate the life of your beloved pet regardless of your religious or spiritual preferences.
