Our guest today was Reagan Pasternak, a well-known actress and now author of a new book on pet loss.  Griffin’s Heart was inspired by the loss of Reagan’s beloved soulmate animal who died at the age of seven.  That experience gave her the desire to help others through the painful journey experienced when we lose a beloved pet.   

Griffin’s Heart is described as more than just a book because it is also a journal, a workbook, and a keepsake all in one.  She encourages her readers to actively participate in the healing process. There are opportunities for journaling, saving photos and engaging in healing exercises.
