Pet Grief and Loss Therapist Written Workbook PDF (Instant Digital Download)

Losing a beloved pet can change far more than expected.

You may miss their presence, but you may also miss the routines built around them, the sound of them moving through the house, the caregiving role you held, the way they greeted you, the places they occupied, and the countless ordinary moments that made them part of your everyday life.

Love Still Lives Here is an 80-page therapist-written pet loss grief workbook created to help you understand and care for those parts of grief—not rush through them.

Written by Caroline Aaron, MSW, LICSW, this book + workbook combines compassionate psychoeducation with practical exercises and reflection tools for the experiences that can make pet loss especially difficult.

Inside, you’ll find support for anticipatory grief and caregiving strain; euthanasia and difficult end-of-life decisions; guilt, hindsight, and “Did I do enough?” thoughts; the empty house and disrupted routines; grief waves and body-level reminders; relationships with people who may not understand; boundary and support scripts; remembrance and continuing bonds; and very hard or low-capacity grief days.

You’ll also work with practical tools including the Loss Ripple Map, Hindsight Lens, facts/interpretations/unknowns exercises, the Certainty Loop, remembrance practices, support planning, a 60-Second Grief Return, Low-Capacity Day Plan, and Pocket Hard-Day Card.

This workbook does not ask you to forget, “move on,” find a silver lining, or follow a prescribed grief timeline.

Instead, it offers a gentler idea:

The relationship has changed, but its meaning does not have to disappear.
