Fragile Tears: Stories and Guidance for Youth on the Passing Away of Beloved Animal Companions » (BOOK & CD)

Comforting stories and drawings of beloved pets. Youth especially have a difficult time with the loss of a beloved animal companion. Because often times it is their first exposure to death, or the animal is their very first best friend. Grief over the loss of a beloved animal companion can be devastating and isolating. Many times society doesn't recognize or accept the depth of grief that people experience.

After the uncontrollable tears of sadness, we begin to heal, sometimes very slowly. Gradually, as we begin to heal, we remember our lost loved one with mixed emotions of grief and joy. And often times, without the slightest warning, we feel a delicate tear on our cheek. A fragile tear created mostly by love. May this book provide comfort and guidance to youth that have lost a beloved animal companion.

The accompanying complimentary CD Fragile Tears is a compilation of music from various artists. It is meant to provide positive and reflective healing to the listener.
