“Pet Loss First Aid: A Reference to Help You Survive the Passing of Your Soul Pet”

by Kathleen E. Hearons

This book is for anyone who’s new to handling life without their soul pet. It presents the abridged form of everything I learned in my quest to survive the loss of my own soul pet by expanding my mind. All the things I learned ultimately came together to free me from the ignorance that had trapped me in severe depression. I believe that if I had learned these things sooner, I would have emerged from the darkness sooner. And that is my hope for all who read this book: that you will find your way out of the darkness and back to life.
