Gone never needs to mean forgotten. Intriguing on in spirit does not mean Intriguing on from our hearts. Our pets give us so much love, how can we just let go? We need to honor our love. We need to honor the love that our pets gave us. This wonderful, unconditional, "always there" love.
There are so many ways to remember our pets. One of the most personal ways we can remember them is with an altar that we have created ourselves. With our own stories. With our own memories.
Pet Pillow
There is no right or wrong way to originate an altar. It is simply a place to regain memories. First, clear a space on a table, mantle, bookshelf, or even find a place out in the yard in his or her beloved ray of sunshine. Then, just go with your heart. regain those things that hold a memory of your pet or those things that recite your pet.
Some ideas:
- A framed photograph of your dog.
- A candle to burn in his or her honor.
- A vase to hold fresh or dried flowers.
- If you have their ashes, an urn. You can buy one, or decorate your own.
- A poem you or your children have written.
- A jewelry box to hold small items.
- A small shelf or actual altar on which to place items (you can buy altars from most new age stores, or build your own).
- Use his or her bowl to hold all the items.
- What about the blankets and beds? have you belief of production a memorial quilt? Cut out some pieces of fabric and sew them together. Or find a pillow and just sew a bit of the fabric onto it. Maybe embroidering your pet's name under it.
- You can buy a shadow box and put collars, pictures, leashes, toys and more in there. Try going to craft market and see what they have.
- Make a pet memorial scrapbook. All your beloved pictures, some poems or stories of your pet's antics. Use the collar, tags, blanket to decorate whether inside or on the cover.
These are just ideas to get you started. Let your heart move you. Do what feels right. Be creative. Let your kids help. They will come up with some surprisingly wonderful ideas. Just remember that it does not have to be perfect. All it has to do is express your love, your memories and the spirit of your pet will shine through. Always.
