Loretta Nyhan: Digging In (Paperback, 2018, Lake Union Publishing)

Review of 'Digging In' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A good read, I enjoyed the honest portrayal of a women dealing with her life that has been thrown into disarray. The story didn't try to show someone who had all of the answers, just a person working to cope with life, day by day, working to find what works for her while throwing away many things that no longer seemed important. Enjoyed the pace and that the book did not end with a sappy happy ending but a promise of better things that might come along with the problems we have.

Kristy has written several other books telling of her life and challenges. I have enjoyed them because her stories describe how she continues to strive for excellence even when its difficult to find the will to keep going. These stories have helped me to look at my life differently and find ways to move beyond my problems.

This book is another set of stories about herself and some of her clients who have lost a beloved pet. It isn't just stories, it is also her reflections on those losses and how we can grow from them instead of letting them bog us down. A very loving book, and for any pet owner who has known loss, expect to shed a few tears as you read the stories. For anyone who may be trying to work through the loss of a pet and feeling guilty about their emotions, this is a …
