This is an amazing book. I found this to be very reassuring and comforting. I thought when i lost my best buddy Bailey after nearly 13 years that i would never get over him. He was by my side through some really hard times. He came everywhere with me and i could never have imagined never mind the reality of never having him. After reading Wendy’s book i could see things differently a better understanding. I never wanted Bailey to die and did everything to save him and the book made me realise this and brought me comfort. I have given my baby “Bailey” as his middle name and the things he does reminds me of Bailey. Definitely worth a read ❤

I bought this for my sister following the loss of her dog. Feedback from her is that it bought back sad memories of the awful day she had to put her dog to sleep. I read all the reviews before I ordered and they were all very positive just wish I had read it before I gave it to her

I bought this book after losing my beloved cat of 17 years. I found the book to be compassionate and understanding of my grief and I derived a huge amount of comfort from the anticipatory grief chapter. Even though I read it after the death of my cat, it reassured me that I had done everything I could for him. I highly recommend this book to guide you through the stages of loss.

This was a book I’d wish I’d had after the loss of my beloved 12 year old rescue dog who sadly was euthanised after having a stroke that left him brain damaged. Wendy’s book is so lovingly written it feels like you’re getting advice from a friend. There’s are lots of helpful hints and tips and it’s nice to see a chapter on how to help children cope, as they can often not now life without their special friend. A personable book which is heartwarming and should bring you some comfort during a difficult time.

This book was recommended to me by a pet bereavement counselor after the very sudden loss of my beautiful dog Willow. It felt like Wendy had written this book just for me as her words spoke directly to how I was feeling. A straightforward, easy to follow and down to earth read. I’ve read other pet loss books that I found too fussy, fluffy or with contradicting information. Not with Wendy’s book. I highly recommend it for anyone going through pet loss and grief. Thank you so much.

Throughout my life, I’ve lost quite a few cherished pets and have never known quite how to process the grief and pain, there’s little resources out there and most of the time, pet loss is trivialised by society. When I heard about this book from Wendy, I decided to pick it up for myself and see out of curiosity. Doing that is probably one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Wendy tackles the pain, loss, and grief of losing a loved animal with a comforting grace, using honesty and her experience as a pet bereavement counsellor to bring you a concise and wonderfully written book. A lot of the book feels like sitting down with an old friend and getting some much needed support and advice, and I love how each chapter helps you handle different aspects of what you’re going through, so people from all walks of life can relate and have a better idea on what do do next. This book is staying firmly on my favourite books shelf and I cannot recommend it enough.

For anyone who has lost their beloved animal companion, this book is a must. It is written with a real sincerity from personal experience, but also provides practical advice and support to anyone facing overwhelming grief. The book explores the different stages of grief, allowing the reader to possibly understand why they are feeling the way they are at any given time. But what I liked best was the reassurance I felt; that there is a way through this journey, taking many positives from it, and ultimately helping to accept and heal after your loss.

For anyone that has owned a pet, knows how hard it is when they die.
Only us pet owners know how they feel like part of the family, and get upset when they go. This book is a great read to help you cope with the loss of your loved pet.
It’s a great read from start to finish, and has that personal touch with makes it great for anyone suffering a loss.
Highly recommended.
