I'm so glad I read this book. It helped me put things into perspective about my loss. Mr. Kowalski talks about the cycle of life in a way that helped me accept things. He also spoke about the afterlife, which put my mind at ease.
There is a section of readings at the end of the book that can be used in a memorial ceremony for a deceased pet. They vary in length and style. Some are biblical passages and some are quotes from books. Whatever your religious views, you should find something that fits your needs.
I would suggest this book for anyone who has lost a beloved pet. This is also a book that I would consider gifting to a friend who is dealing with this type of loss. The book is short. I read it in just a couple of hours. It's a book that I know I will read again sometime in the future, as our pets just don't live as long as we would like.
Thank you Amy! I think this is an impawtant book for us all to know about. Sometimes humans just need help coping when we cross the bridge. It's good to know there are sources out there to help them.
There are two more book reviews coming up. I hope you'll read them all.
Books like this can be so helpful in dealing with loss...sometimes we just need to hear another's perspective to help us recover
