When I opened the box and our beloved cat’s knitted blanket looked back at me, tears immediately overflowed and wouldn’t stop. My husband told me, “You loved so deeply and gave your all. That’s why you cry. So let’s stop blaming ourselves.” Hearing that made me cry even more.
It was the first time I had cried in front of him like that, but it felt like tears of release—tears that carried hope—and it truly saved me.
Reading this customer’s review reminded me of a very similar conversation in my own home.
We, too, once had to say goodbye to our cat. I remember crying, and my wife gently said to me:
“Because Maro was so loved, he must have been truly happy.”
I cannot express how much those words saved me at that moment.
I realized our customer must have felt the same.
I often wondered if I had truly given enough love to my pets. Sometimes I even blamed myself, worrying whether I had cared for them properly.
In those moments, having someone tell you, “You really did love them,” can heal a grieving pet owner’s heart.
Perhaps the pieces we create are simply the spark for such realizations. Our hope is to craft items that help people recognize the love they gave to their pets.
Some customers tell us, “It was only after receiving the cushion that I was finally able to cry.” In that moment, they rediscover just how deeply they had loved their pet.
If you, too, wish to feel your pet’s warmth again, please take a look at our collection of custom knitted memorial items.
