As 2023 draws to a close, many of us will be reflecting on the year that's been. We've had ups and downs, times of happiness and times of sadness, and some of us have lost dear members of our families.
It can be really daunting, starting the new year without them ever by your side. Be gentle with yourselves and take the time to grieve and to remember them as they were. While they'll never be replaced, and while it feels like a part of us has also gone with them, their memories linger and comfort us, and happy memories with them are never too far away.
For me, it's truly been a privilege being able to help those pets that need to go, go on their way with peace. I've been welcomed into the homes of many now, and witnessed again and again the amazing bond between humans and our furry companions. They love and trust us unconditionally and we return this alike. As their time on earth ends and they lie down the one final time, it has been incredible to witness the outpouring of love, care and support from their families.
With 2024 brings new experiences, adventures, and hopefully, new opportunities to share meaning. Hug your loved ones closer tonight!
I wish you all a safe and Happy New Year.
