About the Author

During 30 years in human healthcare as a Registered General Nurse, Angela Garner developed a strong interest in end-of-life issues and communicating in an empathic and sensitive way with the terminally ill, dying, and bereaved. Her life-long passion for animal welfare naturally led her to specialize in Companion Animal Bereavement Support.

Shortly after gaining her diploma in this area in 2001, she was asked to set up and run an innovative national pet bereavement support service for a small charity called Environmental Animal Sanctuary & Education (EASE), which now offers a full range of support resources created by the author.

Over the years, Angela has developed her own unique methods of communicating with bereaved pet owners and has written a wide range of support literature, including the Children’s Pet Bereavement activity book on the EASE website. She has been awarded a fellowship by the Society of Bereavement Practitioners for her work. After learning to teach in the adult sector, she moved into training and lecturing on this subject.

In 2015, Angela was invited to lecture at the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) annual conference, the video of which can be viewed on her website: https://petlosspress.com.
