Fostering a dog on hospice isn’t about fixing or saving.

Grief has no set timeline, and is a deeply personal, non-linear process that everyone experiences differently. It is unpredictable and always changing.

On our bookshelf this month we are featuring The Grieving Body, by Mary-Frances O'Connor . Rooted in scientific evidence yet deeply humane in tone, The Grieving Body explains the impact of grief—and life’s other major stressors—on the human body.
