- Synopsis
- Gary Kowalski, a Unitarian minister, demonstrates his understanding of the importance of pets in our lives and the pain we suffer when they die by recounting experiences of his family, friends, members of his congregations and well known writers and historic figures with their beloved pets from rabbits to horses. He has gathered uplifting quotes, poems and prayers from the bible, the Koran, writings of Native Americans. Children, Garrison Keillor, C. S. Lewis, and others. He encourages those in mourning to take care of themselves, conquer anger, and devise loving traditions to bid farewell to a pet and keep it close in memory. Because people grieve differently, he offers a wide range of methods for coping. His approach is gentle and nonjudgmental.
