      Definitely helped me move on after my dog passed.

      Let me start this review by saying I'm sorry for your loss. This book is a helpful listen. It helped me identify why I'm struggling with the loss so much more this time. There are helpful suggestions to move through the grief process. Most importantly this book will help you validate your feelings. We aren't always met with compassion when we are struggling with the loss of a fur baby. Be kind to yourself.

      I was really hoping to feel better after listening and I didn’t. Just sounded so read from a script with no feeling.
    • 5/5
      It's really heart touching. Do there are pet medicines and supplies available at sites like PetCareRx and more, but when time came, no one can save the life. Definitely it made me move on after my dog passed away as well.
