Moments Missed: A book about pet loss
About this ebook
The author reimagines grief as a space, setting, and character to challenge the notion that, when it pertains to the death of pets, it is often not taken seriously—even though many humans spend their best days with them. With succinct, tender, and moving prose, the book offers a personal lens on a universal experience.
Moments Missed was originally published in Portuguese as Pequenas Ausências, and later translated to English by Larissa Bontempi.
