Cherishing small blessings ✨

✨Cinnamon- Day 15 of Memories✨

I find it truely beautiful how animals find us when we need them. Often in times of grief when we need the simplicity of silent companionship and trust. In some way we bring them something too, it is important to not forget that animals experience grief as we do and need extra care during these times. May Cinnamon remind us to care for each other and cherish one another in life and death. Here are some words from a loved one who’s life was touched by this kitty:

“Cinnamon was my grandma’s cat and when grandma passed my dad and I took her in. Cinnamon was a senior already when we got her so we were honestly not expecting her to live for very long at most we gave her a few weeks. She lived for 3 more years. I think I reminded her of my grandma so she took to me right away sleeping in my bed under the covers every day and laying in my bedroom window. I feel like in some way Cinnamon came to me to help me deal with my grandma’s passing. She was my soul cat. She died 13 years ago and I still miss her.”

✨Dixie-Day 13 of Memories✨

Even if you have to maintain surface level activity in the midst of your grief, you can still dig deep. Dig deep for the strength to keep going, dedicate your journey to the ones you wish to honor and love. Use your memory to empower your future even if it is without them physically they can guide and support you spiritually. Today Dixie is here for us to embrace our resilience. Here is a reflection from her soul companion:

“Dixie wasn’t like any other dog I’ve owned.
She was quiet, but we would have arguments at 3am she typically would win. Not one single mean bone in her body, she was stubborn, sweet, my best friend, my soul dog.
Trying to live without her has been a struggle. I believe she sent me Galactus to help me & I couldn’t be more thankful to have him.“

✨Daisy- Day 12 of Memories✨

It’s incredible how quickly we fall for animals. They don’t even have to be ours to go head over heels within moments. The trust, bond and beauty of the relationship we develop with these sweet creatures is what makes the grief so unique when they are no longer with us. The intensity of this love is indescribable, it is truely a blessing to experience. The following is a reflection of memories from one of Daisy’s loved ones:

“Daisy came into my life when I moved out to Custer, South Dakota for a summer and I lived with my aunt and uncle. I instantly bonded with her and she became my furry best friend. I’d never been allowed anything other than fish growing up so this was my first time ever having a dog and she was the perfect first dog. Always down for a cuddle but also loved to play with her toys/baby (she’d even sometimes look for/take out a specific toy), and of course… was the cutest beggar when it came to treats. She’d sit like a prairie dog.
When I came back to Minnesota, Daisy came with because my aunt had to take care of my grandma and my uncle traveled for work. Two weeks became four and four became… I’m unsure how many at this point but it was a couple of months. My dad (who would never admit it) also bonded with Daisy and loved her. There was no way to know Daisy and not love her. The next 7 years, my aunt and uncle would drop her off for us to watch while they traveled or I’d go visit them all in South Dakota.
Unfortunately in February of 2022, my aunt called me. For some reason when she called, which wasn’t uncommon, I just had a feeling. I was on a plane out a couple days later. I got to spend about 6 more hours with Daisy before we had to put her to rest that day.
I only got to love Daisy 7 out of her 14 years of life but I’m so grateful for them and for her.”

✨Fritz-Day 11 of Memories✨

May death remind you to be intentional about your life. Take the extra five minutes on the walks, engaging in play, or relaxing on the couch. Breathe and remember to give grace and patience to others and yourself. Turmoil is not an excuse to rage or exhaust others, but it is a warning sign of unresolved or attended pain. It is acceptable to make mistakes as long as one is able to be accountable. This why patience is important. The more grace we share, the more we challenge others to do the same. We will all expierence loss thus we can all give eachother compassion. Animals are very talented at guiding us in such practices.
Here are some words from Fritz’s family:

“Fritz was our first dog. We got him on Christmas morning when Santa left a string leading from the tree to the garage where Fritz was waiting for us. He was a die hard hunting dog and loved to hunt. At the end of the day it’s what he wanted to do. He would go to the cabin with us and spend the day with us running around or being lazy laying on the concrete cause it was hot out. We would have to put him in his kennel when we went out on the waverunner or the pontoon, because one day dad went out on the waverunner, and the Fritz shot off the dock after him and dad had to drive him back on the waverunner. He was a good dog and and even better friend. He always be my first dog.”

✨Jubilee- Day 10 of Memories ✨

This little kitty was fortunate to be loved by a woman who filled her life with the purest love a cat could ask for. I truly do not know of another person who held more love for an animal than Hannah did for Jubilee. I believe we are guided, guarded and loved by our spiritual companions even after they have passed on. Thus when we inevitably leave our physical bodies we rejoin each other; this love and bond never ends.
It evolves. Here are some words from Hannah’s best friend:

“Jubilee (Jubi, Juju bean, Jubi the French kitty) was Hannah’s baby. Hannah loved and cared for that cat from the moment she found her outside in the cold. There’s no doubt Jubi lived as long as she did because of the care and love Hannah had for her.
Jubi loved to cuddle, play with Mr. Pink Thing, eat cat grass, and squawk at you. It was often joked that her name should have been Squawker. She’d also “dig” if you cupped your hand over your mouth and breathe in and out real quick. Most of the time though, she’d be cuddling with you if she could.
Towards the end of her life she’d eat mostly treats and lay by the fireplace on a very plush bed.
There was 7 of us, plus Hannah’s dad on FaceTime, there surrounding Jubilee with love when it was time to put her to rest.”

✨Baby- Day 9 of Memories✨

We may not capture every moment and memory we desire with our beloved animals but this does not mean we cannot remember and recreate such memories. Legacy artwork, tokens, ritual, adoration and all such practice is essential when we are navigating loss. My friend who is a graphic artist was kind enough to create a memorial portrait of Baby and what she looked like in life. Gone in the physical form we know but never forgotten or lost. As we share their stories, they grace us with their love forever. Here are some words from her beloved:

“Baby was a cuddler, and spent her time enjoying our back yard and playing with toys with me. She was beautiful. To me, she was just Baby. A white short hair kitty who was the love and comfort that my 10 year old self needed. She was sweet, cuddly and attentive to me. Her life came to an end with 6 baby kittens in her belly, just about to give birth, and my heart broke. She was my best little friend during a hard time in my life. I’ll always love my first Baby.”

🐾🤍In honor of Baby🤍🐾

💖Thank you Painted Pets- Lexi for this portrait 💖

✨Trigger- Day 8 of Memories✨

We are reminded today that when you are feeling more emotionally raw or vulnerable, it is okay to give yourself permission to disengage. We can still witness the world with a balance of healthy detachment. Old wounds may alert us with fresh pain because they require new healing.

Trigger was a soul dog through and through, here are some words from his spiritual companion:

“He was my best friend . I miss him so much . every . single . day .
It’s been a little over a year now. I am trying to carry on and do life.. but I find I don’t know who I am without him . I will never again experience a love so pure, forgiving , patient, and understanding. A human is not capable of loving you like that . The darkest hours of my life and that dog was there for me.”

I know many of us can relate to these words and level of companionship we share with our animals. May this be a safe space to find community and share their stories.

✨Louie-Day 7 of Memories✨

We don’t get to plan or prepare for the loss of all our loved ones. Sometimes life has other plans. Death comes in all time frames and can be honored and spoken of regardless of the circumstances. Louie was lost and not found. We are not sure what happened but regardless he deserves to be remembered. All loss should be recognized.

“Louie was my first cat. He played with dice, with his brother, he had so much curiosity and life. He is lost and I don’t know where he ventured. He was named after Fat Louie from Princess Diaries and he didn’t quite get to live up to the name but he was on his way there. He loved cuddling while I read a book and in general just wanted attention and affection. I will miss him and wonder about him always.”

🤍🐾🖤 In Memory of Louie 🖤🐾🤍

✨Martia-Day 6 of Memories✨

Today we appreciate and embrace what remains. You don’t have to feel guilty for moments of gratitude or relief in the midst of loss. These moments are what challenge us to continue you on even when it seems we can not bear the thought. Whether you are thankful for the healing rain, the sparkling snow, the warmth from the sun, the shield of darkness in the night. We are all grateful for different forms of comfort. Engage in what brings you peace and allow yourself a moment to breathe such a feeling in.

Today I am grateful that Martia has brought us this message. Here are some words from her mother:

“This is Martia, a Norwegian Fjord Horse. She was my first horse..or rather a pony. She was stubborn, goofy and the reason I became the rider I am. She challenged me everyday, but she was patient and forgiving. She was strong and stoic just as this breed is meant to be. I got her at the age of 12, and she was 15. I had to retrain her for riding as she was just a pasture pet before I got her. When i grew out of her, she became a therapeutic riding horse for people with physical and mental disabilities. I got her back after she retired from that job. I then found a home for her with kids she could love on and take care of. When that family came upon some hard times, she again found her way back to me in June of 2019. She left this earth on January 22, 2020 at the age of 26, when she no longer had the strength to stand.”

✨Sorin-Day 5 of Memories✨

Like a snake sheds its skin, we too evolve through phases of our grief. With each shed the core being remains the same but there is growth and renewal. With time and healing our grief never fades or ends, it evolves. Like a snake and its skin; like the moon and her phases 🌙

This memorial was by request of my seven year old son. Here are a few words from him:

“The first time I held Sorin I was very scared, but then he was very nice. He was small and he tickled. I liked to hold him, watch him, and find him in his tank. I loved him very much. When he died I was very sad, I wanted to hold him one last time and say goodbye. My mom let me and then we buried him together. I miss him a lot.”

Sorin was active and quirky. He was with us a short but meaningful time. When he died I found it important to be honest with my son and discuss death and grief in a real way together. We read books and talked about it a lot. We still do. It’s important to continue to engage with children surrounding grief. Do not lie, do not hide, or diminish a loss to protect them. Guide them and support them. I have many recommendations for this process and for those that need help talking with their children about death and grief. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like suggestions.

✨Zorro-Day 4 of Memories✨

On the final full moon of the year, may Zorro be our reminder to embrace grace. Grace is essential to have with yourself and with others,particularly in times of grief. While loss, transition or change can happen without warning; it is okay to pause. Mindful pauses are productive. Grace is merciful and each of us our worthy of this mercy in a variety of capacities .

Here are some words from Zorro’s mom:

“This is Zorro. He was said to be a 13 year old percheron gelding. I saw his sale ad on Facebook and fell in love. He was just this giant, gentle natured boy with the kindest of eyes. I got him in the summer of 2019. When our first winter together rolled around, I noticed he was losing a significant amount of weight. I had a vet come and look at him and was informed that he, in fact, was not 13..but actually closer to 30 and had very few teeth. I was devastated. My dream of joining the mounted patrol with him had ended there. For the next few months I managed to keep him comfortable until the next summer. I knew he wouldn’t make it through another winter, so I made the decision to let him go on a beautiful sunny summer day. I gave him a bath and spent time holding his head in my arms. I didn’t get to love him for very long but he holds a very important part of my heart.”

✨Simon- Day 3 of Memories ✨

Grief can open us up and connect us to the energies of our heart. Pay close attention to what activates and connects with that energy, it is possible to stay grounded in our vulnerability and find motivation and transformation in these energetic reflections. Let your intuition guide you.

Here are some words from Simon’s mom:
“Simon was a sweet protective smart boy. He had a huge personality in a little package. He was found by a friend on the street and showed his gratitude for his new home to his people every day. He was always up for a car ride and loved going on an adventure as long as it ended in sleeping in a bed and not a tent. He loved his people and didn’t have a lot of love for strangers. He demonstrated unconditional love to his people and is deeply missed.”

✨Catrina- Day 2 of Memories✨

Let this little beauty remind us to conserve our energy as a natural precious resource. Setting boundaries and saying no inspires compassion in it’s practice. This season of the year is a time of reflection and going deep within, with that much of our grief visits us when we are expected to be present at events and constantly busy. Honor yourself and those you love by acknowledging what boundaries must be set in place. You don’t have to be everything to everyone-nor were you meant to be. Here are some words from Catrina’s loved one.

“My squirrelly, fluffy girl. My dad said we could get a cat as long as it was a tuxedo. Well we found a tuxedo (her sister) but I begged and cried to bring Catrina home too. I wouldn’t leave without her. She was my first “real” pet. I was 9. I’m so glad he said yes.
Catrina loved plastic milk jug rings, socks, and a fleece pillow filled with coffee beans. She played fetch with pompoms until she would start to pant. She would pull on your rob tie as hard as she could and growl if you tugged back. 18 years wasn’t long enough.”

✨Ginger- Day One of Memories✨

Her loved one has shared some words with us, that I have included below, about who she was in her time on this earth. Let Ginger and her dad Michael, be a reminder to us in our grief, to create a healing well of energy in each of our hearts. Envision this well when you are in need of somewhere to store your memories and feelings surrounding your lost loved ones. Fill your well’s bucket with that memory and emotion and store it safely, so you may come and visit and indulge in those waters when you are in need. Use this water to grow each time you visit💧

“This is Ginger, she was our family’s first dog. She came to us as a little 13 week old sack of energizer batteries in 2004. She was a lab/springer spaniel. Her favorite past time was digging in the garbage for anything that smelled good to her. She was our family’s joy but she was my dad’s baby. While dad was overseas for 22 months in Iraq, she made a pile of dad’s unwashed clothes, her bed at night. She left this earth in 2017 at the age of 13. She was a sweet, grumpy and opinionated pup.”

✨🐾GOAL: 20 days of 20 posts. Please read 🐾✨

This time of year comes with many emotions. While we carry those we have lost with us always, certain seasons can bring on a more fresh depth to our grief.

Part of my content is creating legacy through stories, pictures and videos. I would love to share the legacy of your animal companions that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I believe we can find healing in speaking on the lives of our loved ones who have passed, saying their names again, and letting the life they lived bless the lives of others. 🌈

If I may share the story of your loved one please send me pictures, videos, or stories of them and I would love to make a memorial legacy post in their honor.

Please comment a ♥️ if you would like to share and then message me your content.

My goal is to share one story per day for the rest of the year. 20 days, 20 posts. ✨
