We have only recently allowed the conversation of how to grieve for our non-human family members to come front and center. Lost Companions fills a specific, important demand, a massive need in the market for an accessible, meaningful book on pet loss. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson takes a very personal, heartfelt approach to this difficult subject, allowing readers to explore their own responses and reactions, suggesting ways through and out of grief, as well as meaningful ways to memorialize our best friends." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Pets $x Death. 650 0 $a Pet owners $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Grief. 655 7 $a Self-help publications. $2 lcgft. 650 $a Large type books. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023831.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210504010714.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20210330011958.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AC2C143E8B9D11EB98F79D9441ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
