Highly recommend this for anyone that is feeling overwhelmed and don’t like to speak to people about their own problems. This book will help you understand that you are not alone in this struggle of this field. Even if you want to pursue your own therapy.

I gave this to my vet after my fur baby of almost 15 years had to be euthanized due to cancer. I coincidentally read an article about two vets who had committed suicide. It drew attention to the stress and heartache they face in having to end lives. I suppose it’s not any different than doctors who can’t save human lives. I believe that there has to be more to the story for those women who took their lives because many don’t choose that path, but since this book was recommended, I thought it would make a nice gift for my vet. He was very appreciative! I just wanted a thank you that had purpose for a man and his team who had been so kind and empathetic to me when I was so heartbroken over the death of my best doggy friend. After all, she was family!
