About the Book

This book is:

Authentic — because I've lived it

Wise — because I've studied it

Therapeutic — because I built tools into it

Hopeful — because I came through it

Written by Board-Certified Hypnotist and Pet Grief Specialist Valerie Asher, The Phoenix Rising Way™ doesn't just validate your pain — it educates you on what's happening across Body, Mind, and Spirit, equips you with practical tools woven throughout, and gently guides you through grief's doorway, one layer at a time.

This is the first book to address pet grief across all three layers of your experience:

Body — Where grief lives physically; releasing what your nervous system has been holding

Mind — Quieting the loops, the second-guessing, the Shadow Narratives

Spirit — Reconnecting to meaning, memory, and who you're becoming

No other pet grief book goes where this one goes — into the hidden layers where grief is actually stored, and where real transformation begins.

Walk through grief's doorway — What waits on the other side will strengthen and free you. How you walk through it becomes the gift.
