Dr. Sheila Cooperman

Grieving Dog Owner

I am a retired English Language Arts teacher with a Ph.D. in literacy. I am a proponent in 21st century literacies. I lost my beautiful Boykin Spaniel, Tucker, to virulent lymphoma in August, 2023. It is a pain unlike any other, and I am no stranger to loss. I blog about my grief journey weekly because it helps me, and I hope it helps other. I am in the process of publishing two books. One is a children's book about a dog who is an angel and helps a grieving family. The other book is an adult boo that chronicles the loss of my two mothers and my dog. Grief is Grief two legs or four.
