I Miss You Every Day: A Children’s Book About Pet Loss
£8.30
Losing a pet is difficult. We grieve, we miss them, we can experience a sense of emptiness and loss. We may feel depressed, numb, lost, or angry. All the thoughts and feelings that arise are a natural response to loss.
Children are usually very emotionally attached to their pets and may not yet fully understand the subject of death. They can feel a variety of emotions after the death of a pet including sadness, loneliness, anger or frustration that the pet couldn’t get better, or guilt about times that they were mean to or didn’t care for the pet as promised. This book seeks to help children understand that it’s natural to feel all of their emotions after they lose a pet.

This is a great little book to help children who are grieving understand that it’s ok to feel the the way they feel and shows them that the sadness does fade with time. Only annoying thing is that in the story the departed dog is named Max and it could so easily have had no name allowing the reader to feel like the dog in the story is their dog. It’s a shame, particularly as children who can read find this confusing as their dog inevitably is not called Max.
