New Book ‘Furry Mortals: The Oliver Project’ Addresses Pet End-of-Life Challenges Through Shared Stories and Practical Guidance

Every year, millions of pet owners face the agonizing ‘limbo’ of end-of-life care, a period marked by difficult medical decisions, anticipatory grief, and the looming weight of a final goodbye. In her new book, Furry Mortals: The Oliver Project, author Angela Human provides a much-needed bridge between the professional world of end-of-life logistics and the raw, personal heart of a pet parent. Inspired by the loss of her beloved pet, Oliver, Angela brings a unique perspective to the subject as a veteran of the deathcare industry who has spent decades navigating the intersection of technology and memorialization.

When faced with Oliver’s decline, she realized that even with her professional background, the emotional and practical hurdles of pet loss were overwhelming. ‘In the funeral industry, we talk about preparation and legacy every day,’ says Angela. ‘But when it was my own pet—my Oliver—I realized there was a silent struggle pet owners face. We need more than just clinical advice; we need a roadmap that honors the bond while managing the reality of the end.’ The book moves beyond traditional manuals by weaving together expert palliative advice with a collection of poignant stories from pet parents who have walked this road.

These narratives provide a raw, honest look at the diverse ways people navigate loss, ensuring readers never feel alone in their decisions. ‘Loss is universal, but the path through it is deeply personal,’ Angela explains. ‘By sharing these stories alongside practical guidance, I wanted to create a space where pet parents feel seen, heard, and supported by a tribe of people who truly ‘get it.” Key takeaways from the book include strategies for managing the anticipatory grief that occurs as a pet’s health declines, a grounded approach to the ethics and logistics of end-of-life choices, real-world anecdotes that offer comfort and perspective on the human-animal bond, and practical ways to honor a pet’s life and process grief through meaningful action.

The book has already resonated with pet owners seeking a grounded, sincere voice in a space that is often either too clinical or overly sentimental. Furry Mortals: The Oliver Project and its companion guide, The Furry Mortals Compass, are available now at https://www.FurryMortals.com and on Amazon. The work represents a significant contribution to pet loss literature by addressing both the emotional and practical dimensions of this universal experience.
