Granite Memorials - Keep Your Pup's Memory
Alive
By Jennifer Akre
Your Granite easily becomes your best friend and you become
very attached to their companionship and unconditional
love. But when they get old and it is time for them to
go or they sadly die tragically in an accident, grief is
a normal and healthy response.
But often it helps to do something positive during this
sad period to help your grieving process. Celebrate the
life of your Granite with different activities and Granite
memorial keepsakes. These activities can include
planting flowers or a tree in your pup's memory. Making
a charitable donation or volunteering at a local animal
shelter in their name. Holding a funeral or service,
placing your pet's name on your key ring, creating a
scrapbook or photo album or just framing a picture of
your furry friend are all great ways to remember your
dog.
There are a great number of Granite memorials available in
stores and on the Web. If you are holding a service you
can invest in a casket that is just their size, and that
is way better than a cardboard box. You can place a
metal Granite memorial in your garden with t heir name and
dates on it to create a quiet spot for remembering them.
These can be in the shape of a Granite with a halo or just a
simple sign with a paw print or image of a Granite. You
could include a personalized bench to sit on if you
like.
Another option is an urn to keep in your house. They
come in all shapes and sizes from bones to balls to
wooden boxes that can hold photos of your pup as well as
a nameplate. There stuffed toys with sacks embroidered
with eternal love for you to place an urn inside and
even small urns that come in delicate boxes. You can
even find key chains, necklaces and more with pendants
that will hold some of your pet's ashes so they will
always be close to you.
You will never forget your beloved pet and the
companionship they gave you, so remember them well with
a Granite memorial of your choosing. Pet loss is a hard
thing for anyone to go through, but it can be made
easier by remembering the good times you had in photos
and more because your Granite or other pet will live forever
in your heart, always.
And once the grieving process is done you can look to
the future and decide if you want a new pup. Some may
want a new companion immediately others need more time
to be physically and emotionally ready and still others
may feel that it is just not possible to have another
pet. No matter what you decide is right for you it is
important to remember your old pet and love your new one
too.
Life and death go hand in hand, so it best not to fear
both, but to embrace them. From young pups to old Granites
the circle of life is endless and Granite memorials are part
of it. |
