It was never easy to say goodbye. Farewells always seem like a limit or an expiration date. I have always wondered why we receive things we can’t keep? How can we keep them forever? Luckily, we now can with pet cremation jewelry in Singapore.
I once had a dog before named Angel, and I had her with me ever since I was a child. We grew up together. She was with me in all the adventures of my life.
She was with me when I celebrated birthdays, graduation, Christmas, new year and all sorts of holidays. I remember always holding her as we both blew cake candles because we loved eating cake.
She was quiet, playful, smart and always hungry. She loves to run on the streets or pick a fight among her other pack of dog friends. She was brave, but she was also sweet.
I remember always taking the blame for her. Like when she accidentally broke mum’s favourite vase, when she ruined my dad’s vintage sofa, or when she ate all of the sausages in the refrigerator. Angel was always all over the place, but we loved her for it.
She doesn't say much, but she has been my only friend ever since I can remember; that is why losing her broke me.
Making "the choice"
Angel and I always go hand in hand, taking care of each other. So the thought of not seeing her anymore scares me. But I guess no matter how many cakes we blow or how many wishes we make, not all of them will come true. Later that year, after she turned 8, Angel was diagnosed with a cancerous cluster.
Her doctor said I had a choice. It’s either I let go or Angel will. It scared me hearing her cries and whimpers every sleepless night. The terror of seeing her lifeless was there, and it was kicking in every single moment.
Her doctor said surgery could be a choice, but she may not survive it with her old age. I could hear a light clamour of animal sneezes and cries ringing through the clinic that night. I chose to let her go as I cradled her aching, panting body in my arms.
That night I said goodbye to my little Angel, looking at her eyes as I lay beside her. I slept that night, telling her she did well.
Goodbye doesn't always mean permanent.
After I lost Angel, I became quiet. I found it hard to eat or do anything. I hear her voice and see her in every part of the house. Moving on from the pain wasn’t as easy as saying goodbye to her.
My mum and dad got worried when they saw how I wasn’t taking it well. But on my 18th birthday, Angel came back to me. My mum gave me a diamond necklace with Angel’s ashes on it.
It was ashes turned into jewellery! Who would have thought that diamonds from ashes are possible? Fortunately, these things are now likely to have. My mum requested her gift from a pet cremation jewelry store in Singapore that allows you to find a way to keep your pet remains with you forever.
All they needed was something that belonged to your pet, such as feather, hair or ashes that will turn into jewellery.
I was so happy that day! People may find cremation jewelry in Singapore unusual, but for me, who lost a loved one, it was a comforting feeling to have them with you. It gives you a sense of connection, knowing that you are always with the people who once made a change in your life.
It gives you a shift of feeling when you remember that these ashes turn into jewellery and that someone you love lives in them. It is the memories that stay that's why it is unique among all jewellery out there.
Diamonds from the ashes of your loved ones are like limited edition jewelry that you are only allowed to have. I was so happy to wear it with me. I felt like I was walking, living and playing with Angel.
Forever and always with her
Many people have trouble understanding how to grieve for a pet and ask for room to do so. What I have realised from this journey is that once we dare to face the emotional weight that an animal's death has had on us, we are free to begin the process of letting go.
When a pet dies, we must accept that we have lost an unconditional love and friend, but she will remain with us forever. If only we are brave enough to face our fears and open our hearts to others suffering in silence, diamonds from ashes can make a difference. If you are looking for a pet cremation jewelry shop in Singapore, I highly recommend Algordanza Singapore. Have the memories of your pet with you, and always remember.
