Duelo animal

When a beloved pet dies, you lose a member of your family. A part of the story you built together is gone, you confront the finiteness of life, and something inside you breaks. While the world demands you move on, your grief cries out to be understood. Drawing on evidence-based grief psychology, clinical experience, and his own story of loss, David Gómez dismantles the myths that invalidate grief for pets, helps you understand the emotional turmoil you are experiencing, and supports you through the difficult decisions that may arise at the end of life. With accessible and metaphorical language, and through numerous experiential exercises, these pages offer a safe space from which to navigate grief, navigating the space between acknowledging pain without being trapped by it and rebuilding a meaningful life. An essential book for those who have lost a pet or are preparing to say goodbye, for those who wish to support someone in mourning, for families who need to talk about death with young children, and for veterinary teams.
