When Only the Love Remains:  The Pain of Pet Loss

by Emily Margaret

In this sensitive and honest work, the author shares her truest feeling about losing her beloved pet rabbit.  Her feelings show us that having an animal loss (as opposed to human loss) in one's life does not diminish it's intensity or grief.  The bond between animal and human is so great (in the shamanistic sense, the rabbit has become her power animal) that upon losing the pet, she has lost a part of herself.  As with a human loss, another rabbit cannot replace the one who has died.  She shows us how she passes from one stage of grief to another.  In time, she realizes that Poochie, the rabbit never left her side and her memories enable her to go on with her life.  This book is the most beautifully sensitive account of one's experience with pet loss.  As the poems are written straight from the heart, you will laugh and cry as you learn how Poochie made such a great impact on the author's life.
