A beloved pet has passed away, yet many owners do not know how to cope with their grief. This book cannot provide comfort - nothing and no one can - but it can offer pathways to new ways of behaving and renewed joy in life. In "Saying Goodbye - Grieving for a Beloved Pet," the author provides information and exercises specifically tailored to the loss of a pet, which have proven effective in grief support. The structure mirrors that of a guided grief group with seven sessions, addressing topics such as unacknowledged grief, stages of grief, anger, powerlessness, guilt, healing, mourning rituals, and reorientation. It is a first-aid and, above all, self-help book for all pet owners, featuring exercises, lists, literature recommendations, and numerous case studies.
