We have compiled for you a listing of books that deal with animals, grieving and helping ourselves and others understand and cope with death. We trust you will find them informative, of comfort, and some - inspirational. Also listed are some of AHCC's most highly recommended books. While they are in no particular order, we have color coded them as Wendy, Sheila and Andria's favorites. If you have a book that is a personal favorite and would like us to add it to this list, please email us at andria@animalhospice.org with the details and we will try to get it added.
