Forever Remembered – Pet Sympathy card suite with Newton’s Nook Furr-ever Friends | DancesWithHooves Paper Design

As I set off to create these cards last week for a few households who are standing in the wake of untimely losses of their furry companions, with a close call of our own freshly on our minds, I thought back to times I myself had been the recipient of a card after the loss of a loved animal in my life.

And I realized, receiving cards like these feels somewhat like ripping off a band aid. It’s incredibly painful, exposing a defect yet again to the air, causing it to burn anew, as though it is once again a fresh wound.
