Pets touch our hearts in very special ways, with their unconditional love for us. For an excellent e-book on handling the grief of pet loss, see Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen's Letting Go of an Animal You Love. One of the cases in the book is the story of losing my beloved terrier-poodle. The book is readable, well-organized, and gives many tips on navigating this special kind of grief process.
