A Little Shroud, A Whole Lot of LOVE 🐾💗
Timothy Brown: A Journey Wrapped in LOVE 🌸
A month ago, my heart was fractured into tiny pieces when my beautiful, handsome, playful and kitten-like 17 years young cat, Timothy Brown, took his final breath while cradled in my arms and looking into my eyes.
We had spent many years together and, as an integral part of our family, our children grew up alongside him and felt his departure very deeply. I personally have not grieved so much over a pet as I did with Tim, and this is why I am sharing this with you.
In the days before, I created his little burial shroud. This was THE MOST DIFFICULT thing that I have ever made. Each stitch was sewn with love, intent and many tears. I added white feathers to the plaited bindings and sprinkled them with a splash of iridescent bio-glitter, as I know Timmy would love to play with these. I cried a river as Tim lay beside me. I knew in my heart that it was a sacred way for me to honour my fur baby and wrap him with LOVE on his final journey.
We all said our farewells, and before Tim's ceremony, my daughter-in-law brought my grandchildren to say goodbye. Tim was lying draped in a crocheted blanket and surrounded by handpicked flowers from our garden. We wrote letters and drew pictures for Timmy to take on his next journey. We laughed, we cried, we snuggled.
Then, after they had returned home, I sat with Tim and cuddled him for the very last time. This brings tears to my eyes even as I write this.
I laid him upon his shroud and lovingly folded and wrapped his little body with memories, love and tears flowing. I then placed the heart with Angel Wings on top, carrying with him our hearts into his next adventure.
My husband and I laid Tim to rest in a beautiful part of our country property. A few days later, my granddaughter and I created and decorated a stone-edged garden and planted flowers. She then painted two larger rocks, which were placed upon his grave.
I now sit with Tim in the mornings with my cup of chai, listening to the birds sing and remembering our adventures together.
Thank you, Timothy Brown, you will be forever missed and always remembered ... we LOVE you❣️🪽
From this experience, I have come to understand the importance of not only wrapping our loved ones in a shroud, but also our fur babies. They are our FAMILY, and there is something so profoundly comforting and healing in doing this that I wanted to make Pet Luv Wraps available for others to honour, cherish and help ease their grief in a little, sacred way.
I will now create and always have little shrouds at home for the unexpected moments that lie ahead. Being prepared is easier on the heart ... in a tiny way.
