“If you have ever lost a beloved furry companion, you need to read this book!
All of them were more than just pets—they were members of my family. Losing them hit me harder than losing any human member of my family ever did. I sure could have used this book and the wisdom it holds back then.
Ann Harris writes with the heart of someone who has lived these experiences.
I have read it five times, and every time I read it, I get something new."

“The loss of an animal companion is never easy — even for someone who has always had pets and worked in the animal industry. This beautiful book PerPETual Love covers all the emotions you feel, teaching you what they mean and how to cope... I was heartbroken when my lorikeet Zeus passed, but this book reminded me of happy memories and brought me comfort.
Can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone grieving a feathered, furred , or scaly family member.”

"I purchased this for a friend who has sadly lost their dog. I was finding it hard to know what to say and how to offer support but this book is thoughtfully written and I found the tips particularly helpful. I've now given it to my friend and she's let me know that she appreciated it too.
Recommend it to pet owners or those with pet owner friends."

"Losing our Rottweiler, Holly, was one of the hardest experiences of my life. The grief was overwhelming... but Ann Harris’ PerPETual LOVE helped me find comfort. This book honors the deep bond we share with our pets and shifts the pain of loss into gratitude for the love we had. Now, instead of dwelling on sorrow, I cherish the happy moments with Holly, knowing her love remains in my heart. For any pet owner facing loss, this book is a guiding light."

"I’ve found this book incredibly insightful. It’s something that is rarely “normalized” in losing your pet, the intense grief we feel. This book gave me a number of methods to manage my personal pet loss grief and also feel validated in my loss through reading Ann’s experience too."

“To be honest, I think you offer an amazing service and I'm so glad I stumbled across you. If it wasn't for your service and the Blue Cross Pet Bereavement Service, I wouldn't be as far as I am now with my grief. I'm so grateful for you taking the time to talk to me and help me through in ways a lot of people just don't understand. Thank you."
