How to use these pages

These pages go with the book. You can print only the ones you want, in any order, and write on them with a pen or a pencil. You can print the Daily check-in as many times as you like.

Every exercise tells you how long it takes, what may come up, and when you might want to skip it. All of them are optional.

gentle
A short, light task.
steady
Asks for a little more reflection.
deep
Touches the hardest material, such as guilt and goodbye, and is best saved for a day when you feel steadier.

If an exercise feels like too much, put the pen down and pause. You can come back to it later or skip it. Nothing in this book depends on finishing anything.

Help: If You Need Someone to Talk With Now

If you are having thoughts of hurting yourself or ending your life, or you cannot get through the day, you do not have to wait until you have read anything. You can contact one of these services now. They are free and confidential, and the people who answer are there to listen.

If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

If you live in another country, please look for your own crisis line before you read further, if you think you may need it. A free directory of helplines by country is at findahelpline.com.

For grief itself, the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement (aplb.org) lists support groups and a directory of pet loss counselors. It is not a crisis line.

These details were checked in October 2026. Services can change, so if a number does not work, a search for "crisis line" with your country's name will find the current one.
