I'm Suzy Ryan of Big Black Dog Studio, and I've drawn pet portraits and memorials for grieving animal lovers since I was a teenager.
We love our pets very much, and when they pass away, there is a large hole in our hearts that hurts.
Processing our grief doesn't come easily, especially for children who feel what they feel but don't yet know how to express it.
I created this set of printable cards so you can help your child to work through telling the wonderful life story of their pet in a way that helps them heal their pain faster, and gives them skills for the future.
