Downers Grove Resident Writes Book on Grieving Cherished Pets

Joy Davy, a licensed clinical professional counselor in Hinsdale and a 28-year-resident of Downers Grove, has written a book that guides people through the loss of a cherished pet.

“Healing Circles: Grieving, Healing, and Bonding with Our Animal Companions” contains suggestions for working through pet grief and ideas for memorializing the bond.

Davis uses her counseling practice to offer “insights into the depth of the human-animal bond,” according to a news release.

“This book is a guide through the dark path of pet grief, but it is also a joyful celebration of the beautiful connections that people and animals create with each other.”

One Amazon reviewer gave the book five stars.

“A beautifully written book! It really helped me understand the deep bonds I have with my dogs. This would be such a useful book for anyone going through the grief of a pet who has passed away, or for anyone who has a sick or elderly pet who will be passing away soon. Loved it!” Amazon user C.S. wrote.

“Healing Circles” is published by Create Space. More information can be found on Amazon.
