5.0 out of 5 stars Do-it-yourself grief counseling..., August 18, 2006

By	L. Loose (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book helped me tremendously in coping with the death of my dog. It addressed every feeling and question I have surrounding the euthanasia. It also has chapters on lost pets and re-homing which would be very helpful for anyone in that circumstance.
If you are reading this, you probably need the book. Good luck to you, I hope you will be able to resolve your grief issues.
