A. Monk

Writing on pet loss and grief

A. Monk writes the articles on Mindelund — texts about losing an animal, about grief, and about the ways we remember. The aim is always the same: to say plainly what people who have lost an animal already feel, and to say it without kitsch.

The texts draw on published grief research and established sources — from veterinary organisations to the work of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross — and the articles that lean on them list their sources at the end. A. Monk is not a veterinarian or a therapist, and these texts do not replace professional help. They are written to keep you company in the days when an animal is gone.
