Book of the Week
After the Last Goodbye: A Comforting Guide Through the Grief of Losing a Beloved Pet
by Hazel Linden

When an animal who was family dies, the house can suddenly feel unbearably quiet.
After the Last Goodbye is a compassionate companion for those moments when there are no easy words—and when others may not understand just how profound the loss can be.

Written for anyone grieving a beloved dog, cat, horse, rabbit, bird, guinea pig, or other animal companion, this book makes space for the many experiences of pet grief: sadness, guilt, anger, relief, loneliness, and the unexpected moments when grief catches you off guard.

With short, accessible chapters, gentle reflection prompts, and remembrance pages, the book offers support without telling you how you should grieve. It explores saying goodbye, returning to everyday life, supporting children and other pets, keeping the bond alive, and wondering whether—or when—to love again.

Because you did not simply lose a pet.
You lost a companion who was part of your everyday life.
A thoughtful resource for anyone grieving the death of a beloved animal.

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.”

A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group not a support group or counselling session. Death Cafes are held all over the world. It’s a respectful, life affirming, thought provoking conversation about a topic that is often shied away from.

Wednesday October 21, 2026
6:30 PM to 8:30 PM EST
Via Zoom

There is no cost to attend Death Cafe.

Book of the Week
How to Carry What Can’t Be Fixed: A Journal for Grief
Megan Devine, LPC

Grief is not something to be fixed, cured, or moved past. It is a natural response to love and loss, and everyone experiences it differently.

In How to Carry What Can’t Be Fixed, Megan Devine offers a compassionate and honest space to explore grief without clichés, timelines, or expectations. Through thoughtful writing prompts, practical exercises, and everyday tools, this journal invites readers to tell the truth about their grief, honour their pain, and find ways to carry what cannot be changed.
It also gently explores the complicated reality of grief—including how to hold moments of joy alongside sorrow, how to navigate everyday situations after a loss, and how finding meaning does not mean letting go of love.

Your grief, like your love, belongs to you. 🌿
