When we lose a pet, the pain is excruciating & the experience can be as difficult as losing a human (or even harder). A recent article on Pet Bereavement in The Huffington Post Canada talks about this in detail. Pet loss causes gut-wrenching sadness, loneliness, guilt, anger, despair & many other feelings.
Creativity can be a therapeutic way to cope with loss. Many people create natural memorials to connect with the earth, helping to release painful emotions. The process honors our pet with a sustainable, living memorial that thrives in nature, producing plants that will flower year after year. Pre-packaged kits are available, a beautiful gift to anyone who has recently lost a pet, or a touching way for a family - with or without children - to deal with pet loss.
Jonah, our welsh terrier (and founder of Really Natural) was with us for 15 years. He crossed Rainbow Bridge last summer - I still miss having him by my side daily.
Have a Naturally Beautiful Day,
