About Griffin's Heart
For 85 million households across the US, pets provide joy, companionship, and uncompromising love. When a pet dies it can be devastating and isolating, especially during a pandemic. Griffin's Heart seeks to become the comprehensive resource for pet owners in grief. The book approaches the idea of grief from many angles, leveraging therapeutic ideas from psychology, philosophy, art, and religion. Throughout the book the reader is engaged to participate by examining their emotions, journaling out their thoughts, documenting memories, placing photos, and more. By the end of the book, the reader will have created a personalized keepsake to commemorate their beloved animal.
"This book is not only a guide on grieving the loss of a pet but is also a comfort blanket full of warmth, sympathy and understanding that helps you cope with a specific type of pain that is often overlooked in society - the pain of losing a non human family member." - Anna W., Los Angeles
