Description
Book Introduction
After reaching 1000% of Tumblbug funding, the book, "I Love You, I Love You, I Love You," which touched the hearts of pet owners and was officially published in April 2020, has been reborn as a revised and expanded edition with the addition of "Our Pet Loss."
To help parting with a pet become a happy memory rather than a sad one, we added an illustration by artist Etop to the cover.


The deep feelings of loss, depression, and self-reproach that come after parting with a pet are called 'Pet-Loss Syndrome'.
To help pet owners wisely overcome this inevitable period and fully embrace the emotional storm that fills their hearts, author Sim Yong-hee, a veterinarian and eternal father of Sundol, has poured out courage and comfort.
This book is for guardians who have lost their beloved pets, guardians who are about to say goodbye to their animal family members, and those who want to share the pain of family, lovers, and friends who are struggling after losing their pets.

Into the book
Their pure and loving time, which makes our lives special, passes faster than our time.
Unless there are special circumstances, it is the guardian's duty and destiny to watch over their pet's final moments.
Anyone who has lost a precious pet or witnessed someone else experience pet loss knows how heartbreaking it can be.

--- p.10

The sense of loss you feel is entirely natural.
It's not because of the 'unusualness' that people who lack empathy talk about.
It is the longing and sadness brought about by the sudden absence of someone who had been loved so generously.
Even if you feel a deep sense of emptiness and loss, it doesn't mean you're weak.
Rather, it is proof that your love for those who have left is that profound and true.
We sometimes regret the times we didn't spend together and the things we didn't do better for.
But this regret is not a regret that comes from not giving enough attention and love.
It is a projection of extreme love that I wanted to give and show more.

--- p.22

Your relationship with your pet is unique in the world, so no one can apply valid standards or social norms to your grief.
Be sad.
I miss you.
I feel sorry for you.
These are normal feelings that follow a breakup and are your right.

--- p.80

In many cases, death and the feelings that come after death are considered denial.
So, we make decisions quickly and try to wrap things up quickly.
However, expediting the process of bereavement and funeral does not free us from the feelings of loss and sadness.
Rather, emotional healing begins only when we spend sufficient time with each emotion and reflect on it.
No matter how busy your daily life is, you should make enough time to turn a sad parting into a beautiful memory.

--- p.126

Some people might say, "Why are you making such a fuss over a dead dog? Do you know how many other pitiful and sad stories there are in the world?"
So tomorrow, Dad might be talking, acting, and smiling like usual.
But Sundol will always be in Dad's heart.
I promise.

--- p.164

Although chickens are livestock that we raise for food, it would be very sad to have to part with a chicken that has been with us from hatching through the chick stage, until it sheds its feathers and grows its feathers.
Parting with a loved one, whether wild or domesticated, is a sad experience for anyone, and the loss transcends the social classification of the object.

--- p.196~197

“I have a feeling that this isn’t the end for Pori, that we’ll meet again someday, somewhere,” he said quietly.
But was it just me who felt like Pori was still sitting next to Gyu-tae, bathed in sunlight? As long as precious memories remain in our hearts, even if we can't hold or touch them, we can still feel them and be together for a very long time.

Her father, who especially adored Lulu and called her his ‘youngest daughter,’ said, “I don’t know if it’s pointless, but I have a feeling Lulu will come back to life…
“I am praying like that,” he told me.

One day, three months later, I heard unexpected news.
“Mr. Shim! We’ve got Lulu back!”, “Huh?! What do you mean?” Startled, I listened to my father’s story.

--- p.235

Are you wondering if I've finally moved on from the pain I've shared with you about the emotions you face when losing a pet, how to mourn, and how to heal from loss and grief? My longing for Sundol still lingers.
In the midst of my repetitive daily life, I sometimes forget about Sundol, but the memories I have with him will always remain in my heart.

Publisher's Review
Your time goes by so fast
I can't keep up

In this era of tens of millions of pets, our pet culture is also maturing.
Pets, who give us many moments of laughter, happiness, and pure love, have long become our friends and family.
However, if you are a pet owner, there will come a time when you will face an unavoidable sadness.
It's a breakup.
The average lifespan of a cat is 2 to 16 years, and the average lifespan of a dog is 10 to 13 years.
It is extremely short compared to the human lifespan.
We feel regret for the short time we had with them, we feel a sense of loss for wanting to be with them longer, and we fall into deep sorrow and even self-reproach over the separation from our pets.
This feeling of total sadness is called 'Pet-Loss Syndrome'.

It's okay to be sad enough
I lost you, but I won't forget you.


Pororo, who couldn't breathe again despite desperate CPR.
Kongi, who crossed the rainbow bridge after a traffic accident while walking.
Tungi said his final goodbyes to his mother and left.
Choco flew to the cat star with a fatal disease… .

Separating from a pet, something you never wanted to imagine or even imagine, brings about negative emotions.
It can cause physical problems, such as insomnia or loss of appetite, and the experience of loss can become traumatic, causing long-term physical and mental suffering.
So we need to be prepared to accept the breakup and heal ourselves.
Beyond learning how to live with them, we must cultivate the mindset to continue living in their memory.

The author says that parting with a pet is not about falling into sadness, but rather about leaving behind memories that will last forever.
Because all the emotional whirlwind that comes after a pet loss “speaks to how profound and true the love for the lost pet was.”
So, no matter how busy our daily lives are, we need to take enough time to encourage ourselves and turn sad farewells into beautiful memories.
If there is someone around you who is having a hard time after parting ways with a pet, simply empathizing with their pain and sharing warmth with them can be a great source of strength.
“Sadness, which returns in proportion to the size of love, will brighten the heart with beautiful memories as time passes, like a pearl in an oyster.”

To those who will be with you, are with you, and have been with you
“I love you till the end”


We all know that we can't be with our pets forever.
Although we can't stop the final moments from approaching, we can all create memories that will last forever.
The author also suggests things we can do to avoid ending the upcoming separation with only regret.
We discuss how to provide love and care until the end, how to assess your pet's quality of life, and how to share the grief of separation in a comprehensive way.

Because it felt like they would always be by our side, the shock of parting with a pet, big or small, leaves a sharp pain in everyone.
We hope this book will provide gentle comfort and help to guardians who are experiencing pet loss syndrome, guardians facing separation from their animal family members, and those who want to share the grief of family, lovers, and friends who are struggling to let go of their pets.
