For Anyone Who Has Lost A Pet

This is an excellent book. Mr Kowalski has another book "The Souls of Animals" which is also excellent. I've lost a lot of pets and his books are a great comfort.

Thoughtful Book

I recently lost my cat of 16 years to cancer. And we lost his brother last year to another type of cancer. It was extremely hard. I bought a few books to get me through this hard time. I found this book very comforting during this grief period. Saying goodbye to both of my cats was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. But after reading this book, it gave me a spirtual, comforting, uplifting feeling. It will take awhile to get over my babies, but in the meantime, I have plenty of wonderful memories to remember them by and to help me get through.

Very Helpful!

I recently lost my beloved Big Boy, Major. I purchased several books to help ease the pain and provide insight into understanding my feelings and how to cope with them. This book was by far the best. It is extremely well thought out and addresses the loss of a pet from a number of angles. The quotes and poems were a very nice touch.

Inspirational and Moving!

Anyone who has experienced the loss of a beloved pet should read this insightful book of Rev. Kowalski's. A truly comforting help for those attempting to accept the loss and cope with heartbreak during their bereavement.

I highly recommend it.

I read this book a few months ago after I had to put my pal Puddin Head to sleep after 11 wonderful years. This book gave me the most comfort and relief of the four I read. In fact, the reason I am here is to order another copy for my best friend who is facing this ordeal today.
