"An unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they've passed"-- Bartels has had a lot of pets over the years, and they've taught her one universal truth: to own a pet is to love a pet, and to own a pet is also to lose that pet. Here she takes us around the worth and through history, examining how we treat the death of a pet: some traditional, others idiosyncratic, some unexpected. Through it all, a central lesson emerges: there is no best practice when it comes to mourning your pet, except to find the space to participate in their ending as fully as you can. -- adapted from jacket |
