Losing a pet is heartbreaking. They are part of your life, your family, your heart. So many people who lose a pet friend suffer in silence. It can often be difficult to get understanding and validation for the depth of that loss. We will do both. Your pet was your family, regardless of what others may think or say. Grief will find its way into your life. Remember, It’s OK.
This unique book divides moments of grief into six colours of emotion as the road map forward. Each “moment” has two entries, one from the perspective of the person suffering from a loss, and another as a guide for a companion response, whether a friend, family member, colleagues, or therapist. Blank pages are also included for reflection.
You are not alone. Your grief is real, and we are here to help you on your grief journey.
Let us help you find yourself again.

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ Remember, It’s Ok is a disappointing read that fails to deliver on its message.
What didn’t work:
Repetitive and unoriginal content Very little depth or real insight Feels rushed and poorly developed
Overall: It comes across as surface-level and forgettable. Beyond the book itself, the overall experience left a negative impression and raised concerns about professionalism. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for meaningful or impactful guidance.
Remember, It’s Ok feels like a poorly put together attempt at inspiration. The content is repetitive, shallow, and lacks any real depth. It quickly becomes frustrating to read because nothing new or meaningful is offered. On top of that, my personal experience tied to this project involved unmet expectations around agreed compensation, which made the entire situation even more disappointing. Still work with the Author without getting paid. She's a scammer!!!
Remember, It’s Ok comes across as deeply disappointing, both in content and in the overall experience surrounding it. The writing feels rushed, repetitive, and lacking genuine depth. It promises emotional insight but delivers little more than surface-level statements. Beyond the book itself, my experience left me questioning the professionalism behind it. Overall, it feels like a project that prioritizes appearance over real value, making it hard to trust or recommend.
