Really...Coming Soon!!!

Hello again,

Now that we have been ready to get going on our horse cremation services...we have been delayed again by our manufacturer. Anyway, I did want to let all of you know that we still plan to open as soon as we are able. Currently we are re-scheduled to start services in June.

Again we are very excited to offer these services to the Central Coast. We all are aware of the ever pressing need for such a service. Thank you for your patience in this process.

I hope all of you are well out there!

Reading Helps Through the Grieving Process

Hello out there,

My neighbor/friend, Sydney Metrick, recently sent me a press release promoting one of her recent works - Crossing the Bridge: Creating Ceremonies for Grieving and Healing From Life’s Losses. Sydney is also the co-author of The Art of Ritual: Creating and Performing Ceremonies for Growth and Change (with Renee Beck). She holds a doctorate in expressive arts therapy and believes that creative expression is a powerful tool for healing. I was hoping that her book, might help someone out there.

I truly believe that when we are going through a hard time or given bad news, reading can be so therapeutic. I know when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, our whole family jumped on the internet and researched probably every article and book written on the subject. She has been healthy now for 5 years, but looking back on it I'm reminded that feeding your mind with information and reading what others go through help you feel just a bit better.

A Child Dealing with Pet Loss

Hello out there,

I recently returned from the beautiful Canadian Rockies with my family and two and a half year old son. After seeing so much wildlife and enjoying the sites, we came home to our 7 year old lab, Aztec. We all missed him horribly...but it was Eli, my son, who missed him the most! When he saw his dog, he ran to him and said, "Oh Azzie!" and gave him a huge bear hug. I hadn't realized how attached Eli was to Aztec, even at such a young age. I started thinking down the road and of how the death of a pet would affect his young mind and emotions. After some research, I wrote the following article, which I hope some of you can find helpful at this time.
