That means your grief process deserves far more care and respect than the world may be giving it. When author Liz Eastwood went looking for help with her grief after her feline soulmate died, the resources she found were helpful at times, but often felt dog oriented. She writes, "Grief and loss may be the hardest thing we face in this life, and they are particularly excruciating when we feel others do not understand. When the grief was very fresh...I needed support, but it wasn't worth risking the pain of someone trivializing the loss of my cat friend." This books details what we can learn from Liz's story, grief experts, and others who have emerged whole after losing a beloved cat companion. Additionally, it offers an opportunity to find comfort in wonder by acknowledging research and experiences that imply death is not the end. Let this book be a friend as you find your way through the haze of grief. You can get to the other side and live wholeheartedly after this loss-your feline friend would want nothing less for you.
