@knighted-princess suggested I try writing poetry or just random paragraphs to get out of my writer’s funk, so I sat back and let it flow. Good news, it worked!

Bad news? Take one fucking guess what I wrote about. I’m sorry. 😅

Two Bowls (TW: Grief, Pet Death)

~~~

There’s two food bowls at the foot of my bed.

There were three bowls this time last week.

But, you see,

When my mother’s dog passed,

She couldn’t bring herself to touch

Her precious baby boy’s bowl,

Still half-full with stale kibble.

Little Bear’s bowl sat at the foot of her bed

For three more years.

I knew I would make the same mistake.

I knew it would hurt too much.

So I walked your bowl to a dumpster

On the other side of town

While your body was still warm.

I find it’s a lot easier

If I do all my damage while I’m numb.

There’s two food bowls at the foot of my bed.

When I fill those bowls,

Your brothers act confused

And look around for a moment

Because they know something’s missing.

Just last night,

Peter tried to groom your urn.

He made that face he makes

When he tastes something he’s not too fond of.

And then he kept on licking anyway.

(Binx merely sniffed the urn

Then performed a litter-burying dance.

Forgive me for laughing

As I watched your brother

Dancing on your grave.

At least one of us is taking this well.)

There’s two bowls at the foot of my bed.

Even so,

I keep blowing three kisses

When I leave the house.

I don’t guess there’s any reason to.

I know that wooden urn on the table

Was never you,

Just the vessel

That carried you.

(What’s left of it, anyway.)

But

I got rid of everything else.

I threw out your bowl

And I threw out your collar

And I scrubbed all the stains from the carpet

With my own two hands.

That wooden urn on the table

Is all I have left

Of you,

In flesh and fur.

You were never flesh and fur.

You were cheerful little chirps

And soothing purrs

And gentle, radiating warmth.

That was you,

And you’re gone,

And I’m never getting you back.

So what’s the harm in blowing a kiss to your ashes?

A false happiness

Is happiness nonetheless.

There’s two bowls at the foot of my bed.

I’m starting to wonder if I did the right thing.

Had I kept your bowl,

Had I kept

Just one more

Physical reminder,

Would it hurt any less?

Maybe I’m being dramatic.

I just lost you this weekend

And it’s not even midweek.

Hardly enough time to stew in grief

And spit it back out

In comically pretentious prose.

But today is Day Three without you,

And what a long

And

Terrible

Three days

It’s been.

There's some rubbish going around the bird site about adults no longer asking their friends to help them move, because adults can hire people to do that and not have to ask and expect things from their friends.

I'm the friend who always needs help, as a single person without a car in a city with rubbish public transit, and attitudes like in the original OP have made it difficult for me to not feel like I'm a burden, a friend who can only take and never give.

My friends have helped me move, they've helped me build a fence, install flooring and drywall, paint walls, build bookshelves, get my animals to vet appointments, get me to medical appointments, get my prescriptions, get groceries, get to work, get a/c in my house. They've looked after my pets when I was away, they've taken me to post offices to pick up packages, they've kept me fed.

They picked me up from the hospital in the dark of winter when I'd go straight there from my 9 to 5 to spend time with my dying mother.

One drove me to our hometown the day my mother died.

One of my mother's friends went with us to the funeral home.

Two of my mother's friends took my brother and I to look at hand carved wooden urns.

One of my friends took me to pickup my mother's ashes from the crematorium.

Which of these things would it have been Right, Independent, and Adult to do without help? Which are the ones where the action and aid provided qualify as Acceptable Friendship?

I have helped friends move to the best of my abilities, but I don't feel what I've done and am able to do is "equal" to what they've done for me.

I sometimes do a friend's dishes when she's at work or order delivery for her.

I used to bake regularly and bring tins of cookies and bars to social gatherings as a matter of course.

I check on a friend's dog who's afraid of thunder during storms if my friend's working. I cuddle the dog until the storm has passed.

I'll let kids at a party monopolize me so their parents can visit.

I've done readings at weddings, even though I hate public speaking. I was best man at a wedding, even though I hate being perceived and ended up getting heat stroke. I've helped clean up after wedding receptions.

I've helped build a friend's fence.

I've looked over rental agreements and professional letters for my friends.

I've made decisions about where we're going, what we're doing, what we're eating (which I think is bullying, but others disagree).

I make sure my less tech savvy friend has adblocks and optimize her PC as much as possible.

All of these things are so minor and often feel like nothing, sometimes just things I was going to do anyway, and not equivalent to things that are done for me, that are /needed/. Like moving.

But you're not trying to solve for zero in friendship, just add what you can on the other side.

When I posted this on birdsite, a longtime friend replied to the final bit to tell me this was her reasoning behind the socks. The socks: every year since 2019 my friend has sent me socks at Christmas. This has been one of the high points of these Christmases, a friend I've never met sending me a package of socks, because Christmas 2019 was the first Christmas after my mother's death. It was the first Christmas I spent alone, the first Christmas I didn't spend in the house I grew up in, and within two weeks of Christmas would be the first anniversary of my mother's death. I was still in a powerful, early part of grief, even if I was no longer crying daily and nightly.

Amidst all the hard "firsts" you have to experience when you lose someone important and the difficulties inherent to culturally overwhelming holidays, at some point I tweetered from a place of genuine distress "How will I get new socks? Socks come from Mum at Christmas. You don't /buy/ socks."

So my friend sent me socks for Christmas. Because I was grieving and upset and she couldn't "fix" those things. But she could make sure I had new socks.

I'm crying writing about it because the small and simple act of "send Ingrid some socks" was and is huge. It was comfort and love and practicality and having my pain being seen and recognized without diminishing it and it was something to open on Christmas day all by myself and to hold and be real and present and it's become a small new Christmas tradition in the years since.

But for her it was just "I bought some socks online and had them sent to Ingrid". When that's on my side of the friendship equation, it's momentous.

And the way it makes me feel can't be substituted with me buying myself new socks.

How to Personalize Your Pet’s Cremation Experience: A Guide

The loss of a cherished pet is an emotional and difficult experience, and personalizing your pet’s cremation can provide comfort during this challenging time. Personalization transforms a standard procedure into a meaningful tribute that reflects the unique bond shared with your pet. This guide will walk you through the various ways to personalize your pet’s cremation experience, ensuring it becomes a heartfelt celebration of their life.

Understanding the Cremation Process

Before delving into personalization options, it is essential to understand the cremation process. Pet cremation typically involves the following steps:

Collection and Transport: After your pet's passing, the body is carefully transported to a crematory facility.

Preparation: The body is prepared for cremation, which may include cleaning and placing it in a suitable container.

Cremation: The body is cremated in a high-temperature furnace.

Post-Cremation: The ashes are processed and returned to you in a container of your choice.

Choosing a Cremation Service

Selecting the right cremation service is crucial for ensuring a personalized experience. Look for providers that offer a range of options and are willing to accommodate special requests. Reputable services will allow you to discuss your preferences and make arrangements that align with your wishes.

Types of Cremation Services

Private Cremation: Your pet is cremated alone, and you receive only their ashes. This option provides the highest level of personalization and ensures that the ashes you receive are exclusively those of your pet.

Communal Cremation: Your pet is cremated with other animals, and the ashes are not returned to you. This option is generally less expensive but offers less personalization.

Individual Cremation: Your pet is cremated separately, and while you may share the cremation chamber with other pets, the ashes are returned to you.

Personalization Options for Your Pet’s Cremation

1. Custom Cremation Containers

Choosing a custom cremation container can add a personal touch. Options include:

Wooden Urns: Carved or engraved with your pet’s name or a special message.

Biodegradable Urns: Made from sustainable materials, ideal for those who prefer an eco-friendly option.

Keepsake Urns: Small containers designed to hold a portion of the ashes, allowing you to keep a part of your pet with you always.

2. Memorial Jewelry

Memorial jewelry offers a unique way to keep a part of your pet close to your heart. This can include:

Ashes-Infused Jewelry: Pendants or rings that contain a small portion of your pet’s ashes.

Customized Engravings: Jewelry pieces that can be engraved with your pet’s name, a special date, or a personal message.

3. Personalized Memorial Products

Several memorial products can help commemorate your pet’s life:

Photo Frames: Frames that hold a favorite photograph of your pet along with a small compartment for their ashes.

Garden Stones: Customized stones that can be placed in your garden, engraved with your pet’s name or a message.

Plaques and Markers: Decorative plaques or markers that can be placed in a special location, such as your garden or home.

4. Memorial Services and Ceremonies

Holding a memorial service can be an important part of the grieving process. Consider the following options:

Private Ceremonies: A small, intimate gathering with family and friends to honor your pet’s life.

Pet Funerals: Some cremation services offer full funeral services, including a ceremony, transportation, and more.

Celebration of Life: A more casual gathering that focuses on celebrating the happy moments shared with your pet.

5. Custom Ash Scattering

If you choose to scatter your pet’s ashes, custom ash scattering options can make this event special:

Scattering Tubes: Designed to make the scattering process easier and more respectful.

Ceremonial Scatterings: Many services offer guided ceremonies for scattering ashes in meaningful locations.

6. Memorial Art

Memorial art allows you to create a lasting tribute to your pet:

Paintings and Portraits: Custom artwork that captures the essence of your pet.

Sculptures: Custom sculptures or figurines made to resemble your pet.

Choosing the Right Personalization for Your Pet

Selecting the right way to personalize your pet’s cremation depends on various factors:

Your Pet’s Personality: Consider what made your pet unique and choose elements that reflect their personality.

Your Preferences: Select options that align with your personal tastes and the way you wish to remember your pet.

Budget: Personalization options vary in cost, so choose what fits within your budget while still honoring your pet’s memory.

Conclusion

Personalizing your pet’s cremation experience is a meaningful way to celebrate their life and create a lasting memory. From custom containers and memorial jewelry to personalized ceremonies and art, there are numerous ways to tailor the experience to reflect your unique bond with your pet. By choosing the right options, you can ensure that their memory lives on in a way that brings you comfort and peace.

Is It a Good Idea to Buy Pet Urns Online?

The connection between people who own pets and the animals they care for is generally just as strong as any other familial connection. Most people who keep pets intend to provide the highest quality of care for their animals at all times, including when it is time for them to pass away.

Pet urns are typically made of metal, wood, or cardboard, the three most popular types of construction materials. If, on the other hand, you are seeking something that can be personalized to symbolize the bond you shared with your animal companion, you might want to consider getting a handcrafted wooden pet urn from a shop that is accessible online.

The Factors You Should Consider Before Buying Pet Urns

Check The Laws

While Local and State Laws may prohibit online urn purchases, federal laws do not. There are several online stores where you can find the appropriate cremation urn for your pet. Make sure you buy a jar online from a reliable seller. Read product descriptions carefully since some urns are only acceptable for particular cremations. If you need to return the urn, also verify the store's return policy.

Find a dealer with many urn photos and a generous return policy. If you order while emotional and change your mind in 15 days, you'll want to know you may return the product. For meaningful memorials, buying a cremation urn online is legal. Be sure to study the store and local cremation disposal laws.

Personality

Now that we know it is possible to buy a Pet Urn online, the question is, "Why would we buy an urn online?" Most likely, the funeral home or cremation provider you worked with gave you a choice of urns. Even though most of them are very lovely, the funeral home makes a lot of money. You don't have to buy the urns that the cremation expert has for sale.

By rule, the funeral home will put the ashes in a thick plastic bag and then put the bag inside a temporary box. This short-term urn could be made of plastic or cardboard. But if you don't buy one of the funeral home's expensive boxes, they will give you a way to take the ashes home.

WideRange

When you shop online for almost anything, you have more options, and cremation boxes are no different. If your loved pet likes hunting, you'll be happy to see that many urns relate to that sport, like camo urns or wood urns with a deer scene carved on them. You can find cremation boxes for pets in every color and with designs like flowers, butterflies, and rainbows. A simple Urns for Ashes for Cats can be bought for a few hundred dollars, but more complex ones made to order can cost thousands. You can reduce your choices if you know how much money you have.

Check The Urn Size

It's also essential to think about the urn's size. The urns come in a wide range of sizes, from small keepsake urns to more enormous urns that can hold an adult's ashes. Make sure to measure the box you are thinking about and compare it to the size of the cremated remains of the person who died. You should buy a bigger pot if the pot needs to be more significant.

Generally, it would help if you bought an urn with the exact cubic inches of your Pet body weight before burning. You want to avoid putting some ashes in another container, where they might get lost or go wrong. Ensure the box you buy is big enough to hold the lost person.

Check The Material

Another essential aspect to consider is the Pet Cremation Urns material. Metal, marble, wood, ceramic, and stained glass are the five materials utilized most frequently in the production of cremation urns.

Because each material has its distinctive appearance and texture, selecting an option that most accurately reflects the character and taste of the person you are shopping for is essential. It is also crucial to consider how long the material will last; some materials, such as bronze and brass, are more long-lasting than others.

Conclusion

Lastly, think about how the urn looks. Many online stores sell urns in classic, modern, custom-made, and personalized styles. If you want a unique Pet Urns for Ashes, consider having an artist make one for your loved one. This will ensure that the urn is a one-of-a-kind item that honors your Pet life.

In the end, it is possible to buy a box of ashes online. But it's essential to consider price, size, material, and design, among other things, to make sure you choose the urn that best honors your loved one. After considering all the above items, you can make an informed choice and buy the urn that best meets your needs.

Personalised Cremations Services in the Gold Coast

In recent years, people have started to personalise their funeral services. They are focusing on aspects that reflect the deceased and honour their life, loves, interests and beliefs.

Some of the most common ways to personalise a funeral service include music choices, vehicle options and personalised coffins. We'll help you plan a service that will be truly meaningful to the person who died. To know more about Personalised Cremations Services in the Gold Coast, visit the Farewell Funerals website or call 0404660974.

Coffins are one of the most recognisable ways to encapsulate the body. They are made of materials like wood, cardboard and metal.

The shape of a coffin is tapered at the head and feet to match the body’s shape. This makes it easier for the family to transport the deceased to the crematorium or cemetery.

There are several different types of caskets available, but the two most common are traditional steel and wicker. The former is used in natural burials, while the latter is usually used for cremation.

Many funeral homes also offer personalised image-wrapped coffins. These are designed by designers and use pre-printed wraps to cover a regular wooden coffin with high-resolution images or designs.

Cremation urns are a great way to keep or display the ashes of your loved one. There are a wide variety of types and styles to choose from, including glass, metal, stone, ceramic, and more.

Depending on the purpose, you may want to consider a traditional urn, a decorative container with a lid, or something with a unique design that will commemorate your loved one’s life. You can also get urns with biodegradable materials that will eventually disintegrate and break down into natural resources.

Small keepsake urns are often designed for infant and child remains. These urns can hold between 5 and 20 cubic inches of ashes.

Keepsakes are items that are purchased or crafted to remind the person who has passed on of their life. They can include anything from a lock of hair to jewelry or a piece of artwork.

Often, keepsakes are given to grieving families as a way of honoring the loved one who has died. These gifts can range from expensive to inexpensive and are typically a reflection of the person’s personality or interests.

Cremation services offer a wide variety of keepsakes that can help you remember the loved one who has passed on. These can range from a cremation urn to beautiful cremation jewelry.

Music is an integral part of any funeral service. It can be used to set the tone, highlight a special moment or elicit a sigh of relief from a grieving loved one.

Using the right music to highlight a special moment can be as simple as playing a cheesy song from the radio or selecting a tune that evokes a particular memory of your loved one. Music can also be used to showcase a video, slideshow or other interactive media that can help bring your loved one to life. It is often a good idea to choose music with the input of your service provider so they can offer guidance and recommendations. They will also know the most suitable musical genres to match your loved ones preferred tastes.

Personalised cremations services in the Gold Coast often use vehicles to transport the deceased. These include trucks that allow for the removal of ashes and casket furniture to a permanent place of burial, such as a cemetery or a family’s own private estate. Vehicles can also be used to carry the deceased’s pet remains. This can be a great option for families who want to take their pets with them to a new home or simply prefer to do so rather than bury them.

Memories last a lifetime! This makes goodbyes hard. Whether it is about memorialising a human or a pet, both of them leaves their mark on our hearts. Commemorating a human is really common these days but when a beloved pet companion dies, it becomes very difficult for us to transition in daily life. Without them, our life starts to become hollow. This is the reason that it becomes really important to hold a memorial service for them. After the memorial ceremony, you would need pet cremation urns for cats and dogs. These would not just act as a container that is holding the ashes inside themselves but will also aid you in remembering the good times that you and the pet have shared together.

Urns for children’s ashes are almost similar in concept to the cremation urns for adults, but smaller. These urns are used to contain the cremains of the babies and children and often the size depends on the physical size of the child whose ash is being preserved. As a general rule, while choosing memorial urns for a child, one pound of body weight of a child will require 1 cubic inch of place inside the urn. If you want to stick to the tradition of burying the last remains of your child, you need to look for a wooden box for ashes. However, at a store like Memorials4U, you do not merely get plain boxes, but intricately carved ones. These urns for ashes for adults and children are biodegradable and easily get back to nature upon burial.
