About the Book

      This book was written with deep compassion.  It is filled with sincere meditative thoughts and feelings surrounding the loss of a pet.  Its inspiring messages allow us to reflect on those gifts we received through the special relationship we had with our pet.

      In addition to all that we should feel worthy about as our pet’s caregiver, the intent of this book is to help comfort you, as well as optimistically enable you to better cope with this very painful and traumatic loss.

      Although so much is lost with the death of our beloved companions, what remains can never be taken from us; all the love they have shown us, and the precious memories they have left us with, forever become a part of us.


About the Author

      Although Lorise received a master’s degree in counseling, she writes not from a clinical perspective, but from her heart.  On April 27th, 2002, shortly after his twentieth birthday, her beloved cat, Buns, had to be put to sleep, due to kidney failure.

      When the time had come for her to make this humane decision, even though she had prior knowledge of his illness, it was agonizing, to say the least.  She struggled for months trying to cope with the overwhelming feelings generated by his absence.

      In an attempt to bring some meaning to the sorrow she felt, she wrote down her thoughts; she hopes these meditations will help others to better process their own grief surrounding the loss of their pet.
