Pet loss brings a host of painful questions:

Am I the only person who feels this way?
Am I "crazy" to be hurting so much?
How do I cope with this terrible pain?
What should I tell my children?
How do I know when to euthanize a pet?
Will my other pets grieve for their companion?
What if my pet gets lost or runs away?
How can I protect my pets in an emergency?
How can I help my family cope?
What should I do with my pet's remains?
What if I have to give up my pet?
When should I get a new pet?

You'll find answers to these questions and more in Moira Allen's book,
Coping with Sorrow on the Loss of Your Pet -- now available in a newly updated, expanded 3rd edition that celebrates 20 years in print!
