Before I met my wife, I had two cats. After we got together, our household became two humans and two cats. Two years later, sadly, one of our cats passed away.
Please see our pet loss experience story for how it is.
One day, my wife started saying something unusual.
Memorial goods sample in my home
My job is to make memorial goods for pets.
As a sample, I have my cat as a model.
This cushion is modeled my cat, and I put it on the sofa and took a picture.

When she saw the cushion, she asked, ‘Could I have that one?
It was the first time my wife wanted my work.
Words and Behaviors of a Wife Thinking of a Pet in Heaven
My wife said,
“Maro( my cat) is cute.”
At that night, my wife went to bed with a cushion in her arms.
I asked my wife.
“Do you think Maro-chan has arrived in heaven?”
Then she began saying something unexpected.
“Yes, I think Maro may meet Mook.”
Mook is my family dog who passed away 12 years ago.
My wife has never met Mook.
And she said,
” They would meet Choro, and Rai.”
She began to name all the pets she had ever had.
why i was happy
I felt strangely happy.
The cat died just three weeks ago, so I still feel lonely.
But more than that, I feel happy.
I am very happy to have met Maro and to have been with Maro every day for five years.
I am grateful to have met Maro.
And it made me happy to think that my wife, who had only been with maro for a short time, feel happy so much.
I came to feel that the best way to overcome the loneliness of pet loss is to have someone to share the grief with.
I’ve noticed many customers are dealing with pet loss on their own.
There are various reasons for this, such as living alone and having no one to talk to, or family members not understanding their feelings.
I am making works while seeing how my customers become energized by listening to their stories.
