Synopsis

A heartfelt exploration of human grief after the loss of a pet by the New York Times bestselling author of Dogs Never Lie About Love.

Over 84 million Americans—almost 3/4 of the US population—own a pet, and our society is still learning how to recognize and dignify that relationship with proper mourning rituals. We have only recently allowed the conversation of how to grieve for our non-human family members to come front and center.

Lost Companions fills a specific, important demand, a massive need in the market for an accessible, meaningful book on pet loss. Masson takes a very personal, heart-felt approach to this difficult subject, allowing readers to explore their own responses and reactions, suggesting ways through and out of grief, as well as meaningful ways to memorialize our best friends.

Lost Companions is full of moving, thought-provoking and poignant stories about dogs, cats, horses, birds, wombats and other animals that beautifully illustrate the strong bond humans form with them.

This book has more to do with death and animals than it has to do with the deaths of pets, which I think is an important distinction if you're looking for a pet-loss-only book. I also don't think it'd be particularly helpful if you're currently in the mourning process or if the loss is fresh, but I'......more

Goodreads review by Dorian

Nusprendžiau perskaityti šią knygą, nes esu netekęs daug augintinių ir iki šiol negaliu susitaikyti su savo netektimis. Vienas šuo ir trys katės... Laimei tikiu reinkarnacija ir žinau, jog Marta su Stella dabar yra mano Basteta ir Frėja- jos atpažino savo žaislus, ėda tą patį maistą, išvaizda beveik......more
