This award-winning book has been hailed as the seminal work in the field. And now the fourth newly revised and expanded edition offers so much more to the bereaving pet owner. This edition also includes a significant new way of considering the meaning of afterlife for us and our pets.

● The grieving process, including typical stages of bereavement and techniques for coping

● Children and the death of a pet

● Euthanasia, including important considerations
