Pet grief is still grief – this book about pet grief recovery offers emotional validation and practical guidance for your path toward healing. Pet loss is one of life's hardest emotional experiences. The empty food bowl that will never need filling again. The leash hanging silently by the door. The sudden stillness in spaces once filled with purrs, barks, or gentle footsteps. When we lose a pet, we lose not just an animal, but a piece of our daily life, a source of unconditional love, and a cherished soul who shared our most intimate moments.

How do we reckon with our losses? In Animal Bodies Suzanne Roberts explores the link between death and desire and what it means to accept our own animal natures, the parts we most often hide, deny, or consider only with shame-our taboo desires and our grief.
