Many times, our pets are our first and longest-lasting friends, and losing them can be heartbreaking. While there is nothing that can be done to take away that pain and sense of loss, you can lessen it by choosing to find joy in your memories.
By memorializing your pet, you can celebrate the life that you shared together, which can ultimately help you move on. You might consider a ceremony in honor of your pet, surrounding yourself with people who support you can be helpful. Sharing fond memories and even laughing a little is a good release for grief.
But you may also consider memorializing your pet in a way that lasts far longer than a brief ceremony, to help you always remember your time together.
- Create a photo or video journal that you can reflect back on and share with others
- Make a contribution in their name to a charity that captures their spirit
- Plant a tree or flower bed or vegetable garden to complete the circle of life in your pet’s memory
- Volunteer at an animal shelter or other organization that helps you remember your pet
- Add a memorial stone to your garden
- Get a tattoo
- Incorporate their memory into jewelry
- Get another pet to continue sharing your love with
At Pet Cremation Services, we understand that your pet is a beloved family member and caring for their final goodbye is an honor that we take very seriously, with care and compassion.
