The author tells the story of her faithful dog, Jack, whom she loves unconditionally and cares for. As he begins to ail and battle with his health, she suffers deeply, but finds ways to deal with the anxiety and emotional turmoil that sometimes overwhelms her. She shares the importance of taking stock of these emotions and working constructively with them, as it is only in the awareness of the fears around Jack’s visits to the vet and his subsequent slow departure to the other side, that she is able to effectively deal with the angst. In this way rather than identifying with his ailing body she becomes totally present in her loving support. She gracefully weaves practical tools into her story from using Emotional Freedom Technique to simply breathing consciously. She touches on the importance of self care to restore one’s energy and perspective during this challenging process.
