Grieving the loss of a pet is a deeply personal and individualized experience. Grief is an expression of the love we felt and bond we shared with them. Our pets will forever have a place in our hearts, and it is important to take the time to grieve. Reflecting on the beautiful life you shared with your dear pet by journaling, sharing stories of them with friends and family, or other forms of expression can bring comfort during a heartbreaking time.

"Sunsets are loved because they vanish. Flowers are loved because they go. The dogs of the field and the cats of the kitchen are loved because soon they must depart.

These are not the sole reasons, but at the heart of morning welcomes and afternoon laughters is the promise of farewell. In the gray muzzle of an old dog we see goodbye. In the tired face of an old friend we read long journeys beyond returns."

-- Ray Bradbury

There is no timeline, no "right" way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.

One way to keep your pet’s memory close by is to commission a drawing or a painting by a local artist, or maybe even a friend.

We don't have a specific artist to recommend because they are all so good, but there are many talented artists both locally and online who can bring a photo memory to life and so you can have a treasured memory in your home.
