This companion guide to my Pet Loss Grief Workbook has been created to help provide additional healing strategies and activities as the grieving pet parent works through the loss of a beloved pet. The prompts and suggestions are meant as guides only; you may find certain sections more helpful or meaningful than others, and may also choose to visit, or revisit, sections at a later time. The goal is to offer some fresh perspectives that may be helpful to you as you continue working through all of the many thoughts and feelings that are a very natural part of losing your best friend and companion.
