Here's a list of online ordering resources I happened across today, dealing with pet loss. For those of you who need reassurances from a religious/biblical perspective, there is much in this list of books, videos, etc. There are also a few less denominational selections, for those who find less or no comfort from mainstream religious perspectives. See petlossbooks.com

I haven't read any of these myself, so can't comment on how good they may be, but one I'm in the midst of reading now which I'm finding to be (so far) one of the best I've ever read, is Saying Goodbye to Your Angel Animals. Included are lovely exercises and meditations to help one deal with the loss.

For some other books (I'd ignore the pricing on this page, as I'm sure they can be found for far less $$ than what's listed here) on larger spiritual/ethical issues, as well as one or two more theological books on animals, please see page 1-5 of this list: animal advocacy catalogue of resources.

Hi Furkidlet's Mom,

I've read Saying Goodbye to your Angel Animals and hope you will find it as inspiring as I did when I finished it. Allen & Linda Anderson are my favorite authors on pet loss. They write from their hearts as they inspire others to find peace and hope in theirs. The first book I read of Allen & Linda Anderson's was given to me by ForDuffy. It is called Angel Dogs:Divine Messengers of Love. The wonderful messages in the book inspired me to continue reading other books they have written. There is also a book of theirs called Angel Cats:Divine Messengers of Comfort, that is beautifully written. I think my favorite was Angel Animals:Exploring our Spiritual Connection with Animals. Though Allen & Linda are Christians, they write from more of a spiritual perspective as opposed to a religious one.

Thank you for bringing this posting to the forefront. This time of the year is so hard on many people here, especially for those who are facing their first Holidays without their special furry kid. I hope that many read your post and make it a point to give themselves a special gift in purchasing one of these wonderful books for themselves. For me, reading these kinds of books help keep my heart at peace in remembering just how blessed I was to have Goliath in my life. wub.gif

Holiday hugs,
Beth
