She shares her home with three loving and rambunctious cats which reinforces her belief in the power of animal-human connection. She hopes that this book will help children and adults learn about death in a gentle, caring manner and validate all their feelings and thoughts along the way. The Life Forest is very special to Rachel as her beloved childhood cat and best friend, Tigger, was very much part of writing this book. Tigger lived until the age of 21 years old and now rests at the Life Forest with beautiful flowers marking her grave. Rachel full-heartedly supports Life Forest's purpose and mission and feels honored to be part of this project. Read More Read Less
