How do I keep my pet's memory close after they pass away?

There is no right way and no schedule, so choose what feels gentle to you. Many people frame a favorite photo, keep a collar or a small toy in a box, or plant something in their pet's memory. Writing a few lines about what your pet was like can help, and so can telling stories to someone who knew them. You can leave their bowl or bed where it is for as long as you like. Go at your own pace, and take small steps when you are ready. If you would like someone to talk to, a friend or family member who knew your pet is a good place to start. For anyone who uses Migachi, there is a quiet memorial path for a pet who has passed, with no care list, no reminders and no prizes.
