Losing My Best Friend: Thoughtful support for those affected by dog bereavement or pet loss
“Remember me with tears and laughter. Remember me though it hurts to do so, because the pain you have is equal to the love we shared. There is no goodbye if you carry me in your heart. Remember all the joy we shared, because there was so much of it for both of us.” Herbie Longfellow Alderdice
Are you a dog owner who is in the process of losing your best friend to illness? Or have you lost your beloved pet and you’re struggling to get over them?
Pet bereavement is tough. Not everyone can, or will, sympathise with you.
After losing her beloved boy Herbie, Jeannie Wycherley found herself lost in grief, struggling to find her way through it.
Too many friends and acquaintances told her she’d ‘get over it’ because he was ‘just a dog’ however, to Jeannie, Herbie was so much more than that. A loving companion. A soulmate. A true character. Her best friend.
She found that the more she articulated her feelings around other pet owners, the more she came to understand just how many of those people had been similarly locked deep in secret mourning for a furry friend. Feelings of guilt, overwhelm, exhaustion—even shame—were common.
And so, she wrote about her experiences. The result, Losing my Best Thoughtful Support for those Affected by Dog Bereavement or Pet Loss offers practical advice about what to do when your pet passes away, including tips on helping your children or other pets cope with the loss, designing your own ceremony to celebrate your dog’s life, and creating memorials.
In these pages Jeannie Wycherley has created a loving tribute to Herbie and delivers support with a light and loving touch that aims to validate the feelings you’re experiencing.

Our beat friend Ellie was put to sleep this morning. Her health was rapidly declining and we made the tough decision. I didn’t know how I was going to cope. I decided to see what ebooks were available on Amazon for the long night before the awful day (which was this morning). This one was on the top of my search results. I decided to download it and wasn’t going to read it until after Ellie had passed but I decided to start it last night. I sat with Ellie in the floor of our room whilst she tried to sleep in her bed. I constantly stroked and talked to her as I read. I’d planned to only read the first chapter or so but found the book so helpful that I read the whole thing. I won’t lie - it made me cry a lot in some places and laugh in others. I called my husband who was working night shift and told him to read it too. He’s lucky that he has the luxury of being able to read at work and he finished it in 1.5 hours. We both found it so helpful. Not only with the description of the process but also with advice on feelings and lovely quotes. I am planning to do the Wiccan ceremony in the coming weeks (being Wiccan myself). Thank you so much for sharing your pain to help others!

Very helpful book
I found this book to be incredibly helpful and comforting while going through the grief around the loss of my beloved dog, Oliver. Ms. Wycherley's writes eloquently about her own personal experience with losing her beloved dog, Herbie as well as includes many other stories of pet owners describing their experiences around grief and loss as well.
This was a very moving account of what it means to be devoted pet parent complete with all the joy, heartbreak and eternal love that is shared in the special bond between a pet and their families. I highly recommend this book for anyone going through the process of preparing for the loss of their pet or who are currently experiencing bereavement.

Having lost my dog three weeks ago I was looking for some thing to read that may help me get through the grief. I read this book over this weekend when I took my boy's ashes to his favourite beach in Wales and laid him to rest.
Jeannie, thank you for writing this. Although as pet lovers we know we are not alone in our love and heartache but just to read this really helpful, touching story from the author has helped me immensely. I would recommend this to anyone that is going through the pain of losing their best friend.

I couldn’t put down this book. I lost my first pet a little over two weeks ago and this book has better helped me realize that what I’m going through emotionally is normal.

two months ago i had to say my final goodbyes to my childhood dog on facetime. he has been my first and final thought each day since the day I’ve learned about his diagnosis. i see my Snoopy in everything that i deem beautiful, and i miss him more than words will ever be able to describe. this book helped me feel less alone in my grief over missing my favorite boy

A quick read, this helpful book is a tribute to the author's dog Herbie and a guide to others who are experiencing the loss of a pet. Written in a warm, casual style, Wycherley reassures readers that their acute pain is normal and that so many pet owners go through a difficult grieving process before they can move on. Sharing her own personal ideas, such as writing letters to your dog, and also writing ones from your dog to you, she makes it clear that losing a pet is not something that you get over quickly. The author discusses the stages of grief, dealing with a terminally ill dog, handling feelings of guilt and anger, and creating memorials for your pet.
While nothing I read right now could take my pain away after losing my dog last week, I was able to feel a sense of community while reading about the shared grief of those who form an intense attachment to their animals.

Wow
I recently had to send my best dog friend over the rainbow bridge. Feeling the lowest I have this book rang so very true for me and helped me feel less alone. A must read if you are in that situation.

Cried my heart out reading this book. I’m in the throes of grief and it was a comfort to see my thoughts and feelings written out. Rest In Peace to my baby girl Annie, 6/7/2007-1/15/2022 ❤️

I don’t know if this book will always be a 5 star for me, but I know right now it is. I miss my fur baby more with each day ❤️🩹

“You think your heart will stop when mine does? It won’t. It may pause for what seems an interminable amount of time while you accept I’m gone, and then it will go on beating, and I will walk within you, in every moment, until you too cease to exist. Maybe we’ll walk together then. I hope so. You worry that people will think you foolish when you break down, when you can’t breathe through the tears? When you shake and when you forget things. Don’t be. The ones that love you, the ones that love their own animals, the good ones- they will understand and they will carry us both in their hearts.” -Jeannie Wycherley
It’s been almost two weeks since I had to say goodbye to my almost 14 year old fur baby. Andy was my best friend, my loyal companion and my emotional support. I miss him so much and I’ve never felt so alone or broken then I do now. There is no pain like the pain we feel when we grieve the loss of a loved one.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this book, I was looking for words of reassurance and comfort and that is exactly what I found in this book. While not everything in this book pertained to me and my situation, I still found it extremely helpful. Just knowing that the sorrow and grief that I am experiencing is alright, made me feel less alone. I appreciated getting the different perspectives on other peoples loss because I know everything experiences loss differently. Knowing that others have been where I have been and still managed to pull through gave me hope that I too can pull through this crippling pain. There really is no “right” way to grieve and it is very messy. Like every other feeling we experience, it’s unique to each of us and sometimes we just need to be reminded of that.
I highly recommend this if you are grieving a pet or preparing to say goodbye.

Needed help after putting down our doodle.
I selected this particular book because the dog on the cover looks exactly like our Scarlett. We had to out her down in July due to severe arthritis that made her totally immobile and in a tremendous amount of pain. Other than that, she was healthy which made the decision even harder. She was 11 and the light of my life. The letter in the book from the dog to the owner was extremely comforting to me even though it brought tears to my eyes. The book hit upon many things that I was feeling as well as stupid things people say that aren't dog lovers. This all helped. I have highlighted many portions of this book in my reader so I can refer back to it later when I feel a breakdown coming. It is a good book to help people who have lost pets.

It's a lovely book, lots of ideas of how to cope with loss, lots of reassurance about the grieving process. Some good resources at the back.

This book is reassuring with a realistic view of the grief process. It did help me to not feel completely alone. I’m giving it 4 stars since she mainly talked about euthanasia but not so much about those that have passed naturally at home, which is what I’ve experienced. I did have to take breaks to cry while reading this book (both about comforting ideas and relatable words of grief). I will reread parts of this book over again as my grief progresses.
I miss my Mackie every day. She was my soul dog and truly the most perfect best friend. We were with each other through everything. Rest in peace, I’ll never forget you. August 2011-September 27, 2024 ❤️🪽

This book was very helpful and thought provoking. I have recently lost my “best friend” of 16 years and the heartbreak and sometimes guilt have been crushing. This little book didn’t take the heartbreak away but it did make me understand that I am not alone and that my extreme grief at the loss of my dog is not unusual. I will probably read this book several times while I learning how to carry my grief which I know will never go away completely. I wish I could personally thank the author for writing this. Am immense help. Thank you!

A simple, straightforward resource for anyone going through the loss of a pet and for those whose grief lingers.
February 22, 2025
I just lost my soul dog two days ago. I've lost other dogs before (most recent was 3 years ago), but the loss is so fresh and raw that I started looking for books to read.
The content of this book really isn't anything new, but the writer is very good at putting it all together and tying in personal accounts. The one thing that did bother me (and another reviewer pointed out) is that the focus is on losing dogs to euthanasia.
The 3 dogs (and 1 cat) I've lost have unfortunately been sudden with no time to really process that it could be happening soon. Though my Penny girl (recent loss) was 13, she was healthy for her age. Still, there was always some level of anticipatory grief due to her age. But I instead lost her to a post-surgery embolism. I fully believed she'd come home to me and she was cruelly torn away. It happened 30 minutes before I was scheduled to pick her up after her surgery. My only "Silver lining" is that it happened while she was at the vet and not while she was home with me, so I know they did everything they could to save her.
Here are some quotes that really resonated with me:
Grief is "all the love you still have that you want to give him. It has nowhere to go."
"You think your heart will stop when mine does? It won't. It may pause for what seems an interminable amount of time while you accept I'm gone, and then it will go on beating, and I will walk within you, in every moment, until you too cease to exist. Maybe we'll walk together then. I hope so."
"I held onto every passing moment, thinking, 'he was just here, he was here with me' as though i could hold on to his existence merely be ensuring he felt real, that he wasn't a figment of my imagination."
"I would tell myself, "I'm ok. I am loved. He loved me. I loved him. I *love* him.""
"I also felt like I was crying for myself, not for him. He was at peace, I was the one suffering and I was dwelling on that which was selfish."
"Every dog i lose, a bit of me goes too. You learn to live with their loss, but never truly get over it. You may forget for a while, but in my case it comes back, and you have immense sadness."

A friend gave this book to me after I lost both my greyhounds to cancer less than four months apart. I feel bad leaving a negative review for a book on such a sensitive topic but this feels like it was cobbled together quickly from a few blog posts, is clearly self-published and hasn't been properly proofread. The advice is fairly wishy washy and the author often introduces a concept and then says "Google it".
The book has a whole section on the stages of grief, which a) were developed for people with a terminal illness and b) have been thoroughly debunked (see, for example https://www.grief.org.au/ga/ga/Grief%...).
The author repeatedly states that she isn't a psychologist or psychiatrist, but she could have done some research and included some quotes at the very least.
Ultimately, I just can't take this seriously when the author's way of dealing with the death of one dog (when they still have two other dogs) is to BUY A PUPPY four weeks later and include a cautionary note that rescue dogs will be traumatised and therefore you might "let them down again".

Beautiful and Helpful Book
The author says this book won't take the pain away which is true however, it does help with the grieving process of losing a beloved pet. Although the stories told are about dogs, the book can be used for any animal you have lost. I found it incredibly helpful for the mourning of my kitty Hector. To know I'm not alone, and completely normal for all the emotions I'm feeling right now helps so much. This book covers everything from what can happen before your loss, to what can follow after. It gives you other people's experiences as well, so you can really see how everyone copes with grief in their own way. I'm so thankful that my vet mentioned this book for me to read. If you're in a dark spot right now, over the loss of your precious pet, I highly recommend this book, it will definitely help with the grieving process.

I started reading this book the night I found out that my very loved beagle boy was terminally ill. He passed away only 2 days later, before I had finished the book, but I do feel that it has helped me process the devastating loss. My baby boy has only been gone for 24 hours, and I just finished the book, so I obviously have a long way to go to heal. But the personal stories of loss, grief and coping showed me that I am not alone in my pain, and that has helped immensely.
My only reason for not leaving 5 stars is the significant number of typos and editing errors, the content itself otherwise was very cathartic - thank you. I wish you every comfort and peace as you heal from your loss.

Awesome Book helped me a great deal
Jeannie, Thank You for your book and all your friends input. Extremely helpful and just right down comforting for me. We lost our Yorkie we had for over 14 years. It has been so hard for me. I just could not understand for the life of me why I felt the way I did. I lost my Father a year ago but I had a harder time with our Yorkie Dooney. I have read your book twice. I have read others in the last month and a half. Your book by far benefited me most. Plus you write in way I can totally comprehend. Sorry for writing so much. Your book made me smile. Thank You

I had to say goodbye to my sweet girl on a Friday. On the following Monday, the book arrived at my house, thanks to my sister. This book truly validated my feelings about losing my best friend. I laughed, cried, and often bawled. I found reading a chapter or two was enough when I felt up to it….I didn’t want to binge it in a day! I’m hoping to try Jeannie’s suggestions about writing to your fur baby, but also writing a letter to myself from her. Thank you for sharing your experience of losing your best friend. This book has helped me through a very difficult time.

My beautiful baby Smokey was put to sleep 8 days ago. It was sudden and I wasn’t with him. I’ve been learning how to cope without him. Without taking him outside. Without holding him and kissing his ears. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
He would be 13 today.
This book was nice. It’s nice to read relatable stories and once that apply to my partner too, even though he rarely reads. I cried a lot.
Rest in peace Smokey. I know you are not suffering now. You will always be with me in my heart.
Rest in peace Herbie and to all the other pups whose time has come. You are all so loved.

Shattered heart
It was very interesting. Had several good ideas on how to move forward after losing your fur baby. It just jumped around too much for me, not that I didn't sympathize with the short stories of what other pet owners went through, because I did. I guess I was just expecting something more informative or different. I would definitely recommend this book to people who are struggling with the loss of their fur baby, but I would tell them what to expect and to maybe try and find something that would more fit their need if this didn't work for them.

I found this book after searching for help because I was still grieving the loss of my dog after 15 months. I found it relatable and helpful. Many of the words could easily have been written by me. Nothing can take all the pain away but this book gave me some new ideas of coping with the loss and ways to honor the life of my best friend. It was comforting, informative and mostly just helped knowing I wasn't alone.

I lost my 4 year old miniature dachshund Gryff on Sunday . He’s been poorly for a while having been diagnosed with a very severe disease called IMPA. He never let that stop him though. He got an infection and went downhill rapidly. I can’t even describe the pain I’m feeling. This book helped me massively and made me realise that it is OKAY to feel the way I feel. A short read but more than enough to help. Thank you for writing this book.

I needed this
I'm still reeling from the death of my beloved cat a few days ago. What guilt I have about putting him to sleep. The overwhelming difficulty I choosing a new kitty or kitties. It's all too much. There are many ideas to help in this book. It made me cry and it made me feel I'm not alone.

Beautiful.
This was to me, an affirmation that I am not alone with my thoughts and feelings. I have loved and lost pets over the years,and wish this particular book was available to me years ago. Presently, I have my beloved Squiggy who is 15. He is in kidney failure status but doing well. This was an excellent narrative
