About

 Losing a pet is one of the most heart-wrenching experiences a person can go through. For many, pets are not just animals—they are family members, confidants, and sources of unconditional love. Yet, the grief that follows their loss is often misunderstood, leaving pet owners to navigate their sorrow alone. Paw Prints on the Heart: A Journey Through Grief and Recovery After Losing a Beloved Pet is a compassionate guide designed to help you honor your pet’s memory, process your grief, and find a path toward healing.

Shari Kaftous

Shari Kaftous is an author and creator with a deep passion for crafting books that inspire joy, organization, and healing. What began as a love for designing practical and playful tools—such as journals, kids’ coloring books, word puzzles, and church administration guides—has blossomed into a mission to support and uplift others through life’s challenges and celebrations. Shari’s creations, including bill-tracking planners and fitness journals, are all rooted in the belief that the right notebook can bring clarity, joy, and connection to everyday life.

In 2024, Shari’s world shifted with the loss of her beloved dog, a cherished companion and source of unconditional love. This profound grief inspired her to channel her pain into purpose, creating books that not only entertain and organize but also provide comfort and support to those navigating loss. Whether through playful puzzles for family gatherings or guided grief journals to mend broken hearts, Shari’s books are designed to meet readers exactly where they are.

 Every page she creates is infused with the belief that creativity, reflection, and community can transform even the darkest moments into opportunities for growth and connection. 

I hope to capture the needs and desires of my readers, whether they are looking for fun, entertainment, family gathering activities, or a way to recover from grief.
