My Pet Just Passed: How Can I Move On? (e-book)
Understanding, Healing, and Finding Comfort after the Loss of Your Companion — with The Balance Path™
Losing a pet is real grief, even when the world calls it "just a pet." Written as part of The Balance Path™ Pet Loss Edition, this gentle 23-page guide opens with a simple truth: you are not overreacting, and your grief is valid. From there, it walks you through The Balance Path™ — Relax, Restore, Rebuild, Rise — a spiral, not a staircase, that you can move through at your own pace and return to whenever grief circles back.
Rather than a five-step plan to "get over it," this book offers an honest answer: you don't move on, you learn to carry your companion forward. Each chapter is short, warm, and practical, built to be read slowly and revisited as needed.

Who It's For
Anyone grieving the loss of a pet — recent or long ago — looking for a compassionate, honest companion rather than a clinical grief manual.
A note on care: This book offers comfort, reflection, and general education. It is not medical or psychological advice and does not replace care from a licensed professional. If your grief brings thoughts of harming yourself, please treat that as its own emergency — in the U.S. and Canada, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You deserve support, and it is there.
