Sebastien & I created this sympathy box to honor the tremendous loss of a precious doggo. Nothing will take the pain away, but the gesture of support and kindness may be remembered forever.
Each sympathy box has a postcard from Sebastien as well as the following items: Handmade “This Loss is so Ruff” Sympathy card, Sympathy Book, Dog Journal, Fur-ever loved Candle & light of my life Matches, fur-get me not seeds to plant in memorial, and a custom mini pic of the pup
“This Loss is so Ruff” Sympathy Card:
Handmade and designed by Laura & Sebastien on thick luxurious card stock. This unique notecard has yummy blue trim around the body and just enough room to write a thoughtful custom message. Message me a note and I'll handwrite it on the card for you. Please remember to include who to address the card to and from.
Sympathy Book:
This book called "Read this till you believe it" offers statements of support and empathy for losses and difficulties of all kinds. It’s ideal for showing sympathy when the right words are hard to find. Most importantly it reminds you to honor your grief and be gentle with yourself. Something that can be especially hard when you lose a doggo.
Doggo Journal:
Writing is a wonderful way to manage grief and this beautiful journal called "our friend for always" has plenty of lined pages to capture your thoughts & feelings of gratitude towards your sweet pup. It’s a great place to honor memories. And there are periodic quotations and illustrations about doggos that celebrate the joy and delight they bring to each day.
“Fur-ever loved” candle & "light of my life" matches:
Lighting a yummy candle and enjoying aromatherapy is soothing and wonderful for the soul. And keeping a candle burning in remembrance of a loved doggo signifies their memory that lives on and shines bright forever. Our coastal candle was custom made from a female small batch artisan in Maine whose fragrances use a blend of pure essential oils & natural perfume grade oils that are ethically sourced. It's one of the cleanest burning candle waxes out there....sustainable, vegan, and free of toxins and pesticides.
Scent is “vanilla and amber” with scent notes of vanilla, Citrus, sandalwood, amber, cedar, and powder.
Vibe: peace & decadence
Fur-get me not seed packet
The Forget me not (Myosotis oblongata) is a delicate woodland flower and the true symbol of love. Each sympathy box includes a packet of furget me not seeds that represent the faithfulness, respect, and forever love we hold for a dog who goes before us. When planted in soil, they will bloom in memorial of the hoomans beloved doggo.
Personalized mini pic of pup
Message me a picture of the pup and I will print it on my mini printer and include it in the box with name and angel wing graphic. One pic is included in the cost of the box.
We tuck the pic into the sympathy card envelope for the sweetest ungifting experience.

Dedication:
This box is dedicated to my little bear Sebastien. Thank you for teaching me all the things I didn’t understand before spending my life with you. How to show up with love, take time for play, and approach each day with a tenacious & resilient spirt. I learned how to be my happiest self from watching you. Because not having you by my side is a loss unimaginable to me....the only thing I could think to do was help others thru theirs. Thank you for being mine. Luv mom.
