Hello, and welcome to my blog. My name is Sharon, and I’m the creator of this space dedicated to the memory of my beloved cat, Astor.

Astor, my faithful companion for nearly 15 years, came into my life as a little bundle of fur. From the moment he entered my world, he brought joy, comfort, and unwavering companionship. We shared countless moments of happiness and created cherished memories that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

When the time came for Astor to leave this world, I was faced with the challenging and emotional task of navigating the process of pet cremation. I found myself in a whirlwind of questions, doubts, and uncertainties. What should I expect during the cremation process? What should I do with his ashes? How can I honor his memory in a meaningful way?

In my quest to find answers, I started to do extensive research and discovered a wealth of information that I knew could be incredibly useful to other pet parents going through the difficult experience of losing their beloved companions. For example, I had no idea about the existence of pet jewelry, a beautiful and unique way to keep our cherished pets close to our hearts.

As a licensed psychologist with a background in grief counseling and emotional support, I bring a unique perspective to this blog. My expertise allows me to offer insights into the emotional and psychological aspects of pet loss and cremation. This blog is my heartfelt response to the challenges I faced. It’s my way of reaching out to others who are on a similar journey of love, loss, and remembrance.

Through this blog, I aim to offer guidance, support, and a wealth of information about the pet cremation process, memorial options, and ways to cope with the profound loss of a beloved pet. It is my hope that the insights and experiences I share here will help you find solace and understanding during this difficult time.

While Astor may no longer be with us physically, his spirit lives on in the love and devotion that inspired the creation of this blog. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to honor his memory by assisting fellow pet parents on their own journeys of love, loss, and remembrance.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to being a source of comfort and assistance as you navigate this challenging chapter of your life.
