The End of the Line

The End of the Line, Facing Decisions About Your Animal's Death, is a must read. This book is for all the animals and their people who have and will struggle with "the end of the line" decisions. It is for you, left behind to replay and second guess your decisions, haunted with questions as you relive your actions and inactions.

There is rarely a perfect scenario when an animal passes. Yet what we do, how we reflect, what we learn from those experiences will help us to prepare ourselves for the next time. For as animal lovers and pet owners know, there will always be a next time.

The book is filled with insights, stories and wisdom as invitations for the reader to consider, accept or reject. Nature's process includes death, a very personal and cautiously discussed subject. It offers no specific protocol only challenges that often confuse and compound already stressed emotions.

Our animals' passings, though raw and wrenching, offer reasons, explanations and answers for not only their experiences but for our own mortality as well. Knowledge is empowering and what we learn from letting our animals go can prove to be an opportunity for understanding, comfort and inner peace.

All animals will cross the Rainbow Bridge. It is author Joyce Leake's intention for it to be as peaceful and as comfortable as possible.
