After Losing Your Pet
The thoughts. The moments. The love no one talks about.
Researched and written by Fatima Barrera
Synopsis
There are things you know when you bring a new pet home. What you don't know is what it will actually feel like when they're gone. This book was built from research into what people were already saying about pet loss in the places where they speak most honestly: grief communities and forums. Not advice. Not timelines. A map of where you are, built from the words of people who have already been there.
Who It's For
Anyone grieving the loss of a pet, recently or long ago, who wants to feel less alone in it. For anyone who has sat in a room that felt emptier than they could explain, and loved someone without reservation.

About the Author
Fatima Barrera is not a grief counselor or a researcher. She's someone who lost a pet and wanted to know what to expect, and found that nobody had written the honest version yet. This book came from that search. From reading what others had already said in the quiet corners of the internet where people speak truthfully. From wanting to feel less alone in it. She hopes it finds you at the right moment.
