This recent story about Bend, Oregon’s first pet memorial service reminds us of something deeply important: the grief we feel for our animal companions deserves to be acknowledged, honored, and shared. 🐾🌈
The love we share with our pets brings us so much joy; and when they are gone, their absence can leave an immeasurable space in our hearts. We’re grateful to see communities creating spaces for people to remember and honor these beloved companions.
At Our Loving Companions, we explore the laughter, devotion, joy, and grief that come with loving someone we know we may one day lose. Because every beloved companion deserves to be remembered. ❤️🐶🐱
