3. The poem, “Rainbow Bridge,” describes lush meadows and
hills where your pet can play after their passing until the day
you are reunited.
4. While this poem has become a favorite among loving pet
parents who are dealing with the loss of their cherished
companion there are a few other ways to find comfort during
this difficult time.
5. Here are a few unique ways to remember your pet that will
help you honor their loyal companionship while keeping
their memory strong.
7. Place your favorite pet mementos front and
center by dedicating a shelf to them.
8. If you chose pet cremation, then this shelf is the
perfect place to display the urn.
9. Keepsake boxes can also be filled with pet tags,
collars and favorite toys to provide you with a
place to visit when you want to remember the
good times you shared.
15. Having a print of your pet’s paw is a
lovely keepsake that can be used
throughout your home.
16. Try framing the print along with a copy
of “Rainbow Bridge,” and hang it on
your wall.
Alternatively, you could turn the paw
print into a stepping stone for your
outdoor garden.
17. Many families also use the paw print
to create holiday ornaments that can
be hung with care each year.
25. Your pet was likely the most
adorable animal you ever saw.
Show off their beauty even after they
are gone by compiling a photo
album either with a traditional book
or online.
26. Alternatively, you could have a
portrait painted using a favorite
photo that can then be hung from
the wall like the other members of
your family.
28. Giving to others in your pet’s
memory is a great way to
manage your loss.
Contact the local shelters in
your area and ask about any
specific needs.
29. Dog food, bedding and cash
donations are very appreciated,
and you can volunteer to help
out if you have some extra time.
31. Your memories of your pet will last
a lifetime, and honoring them on
their birthday or the day of their
passing each year is a great way to
keep their memory alive.
32. Try lighting a candle or going for a
walk in their favorite park.
Find something that connects the
two of you and do it each year.
33. When a pet passes, it can be
hard to handle the loss.
34. Although you will never forget the
way they curled up on your lap or
greeted you at the door, it is
important to find ways to cherish
their memory.
35. Whether you choose to showcase
their mementos or create a private
space to reminisce, your pet will
always be remembered.
