THE BEST GOODBYE

Product Description

Author - Donna Willis - Publisher - Three Dogs and a Lamb Publishing - 2024

It was late evening on a cold, crisp November night where, out of the blue, Donna experienced a flashback to that painful, gut-wrenching night in January, nearly two years previously, when she had to say goodbye to her beloved dog, Logan.It was from this unexpected flashback that Donna decided to share her reflections and insights, and so The Best Goodbye is her story.

It’s a journey of grief from the loss of Logan - her best friend and soulmate and one that Donna knows is shared by so many who lose their animal family members. A loss that often leaves a feeling of isolation, as some in society still consider them as “just pets”.Donna also offers practical tips for dealing with our individual loss and grief, as well as highlighting the choices available to us, to help give the best goodbye for our ‘furfriends’ when that time comes.‘As time passes, we want to look back with warmth.

Having our best goodbye really helps us to feel we have given them the greatest final gift. In turn, we will have given ourselves the gifts of solace, peace and healing.’

I’ve known Donna for many years and met Logan, so for me this book so resonates. It’s so well written, its easy to read despite an emotional rollercoaster combining tears of sadness and joy being mixed into a heartfelt experience.

Donna Wills’ book, ‘The Best Goodbye,’ deeply resonated with me. As a vet who specialises in home euthanasia services I’ve helped many families through this tough time and Wills’ honest and tender writing reflects our shared commitment to making these final moments as peaceful as possible. This book is a must-read for anyone navigating pet loss.
