A healing companion for anyone grieving the loss of a beloved dog. Written by someone who has been there — for the dog you'll never forget.

If you're here, your world probably feels torn apart. I'm so sorry. I wish you didn't need this guide.

I wrote The Dog Grief Guide after losing my own dog, Oxmo — my best friend, my shadow, my soul dog. When he died, I searched everywhere for something that acknowledged the enormity of my heartbreak. Nothing felt big enough. So I made the book I wish I'd had.

This isn't a guide for "getting over" your dog, because you won't, and you shouldn't have to. It's a companion for the path you're walking now — the path of grief, memory, and love that doesn't have a tidy ending. Part book, part journal, part quiet place to put your heart down for a while.

Inside, you'll find:

  • Honest, comforting essays on grief, guilt, the science of the dog-human bond, and the strange in-between feeling of life after loss
  • Gentle reflections on letting go without letting go, honoring your dog's memory, and thoughts on whether (and when) to love another dog again
  • Rituals and tools for honoring your dog's life
  • A keepsake memorial page — write your dog's name, add a photo, and frame it
  • Guided journal prompts and open "brain dump" pages to hold your memories, your tears, and the love that still lingers

Whether your loss is new or has quietly lived in your heart for years, this book is here to sit beside you — like a friend who already knows. Because the bond you shared doesn't end at goodbye. It just changes form, and lives on in every heartbeat and memory.
