FURRY FAREWELL ~ ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES   |   BACKGROUNDER   |   PRESS RELEASES   |   BACK TO HOME

BACKGROUNDER

The Web site www.AMomentThatLivesOn.com was brought to fruition after years of careful consideration and personal experience. My objective was twofold: first, to create an online voice and resource for death planning, and second,
to create a refuge and resource for people who had lost a beloved pet.

I divided the site into two sub-sections that focused on each objective. I named the pet loss section “Furry Farewell” and the death planning section “My Goodbye.”

FURRY FAREWELL

I developed Furry Farewell after losing two of my furry 14-year old family members (a chow mix named Kahlua and a pure-bred Samoyed named Kodiak) on the same day in July, 2007.

This experience was one of the toughest yet; the pain, loss, and guilt that followed was different than anything I experienced before. During that next year, over a dozen of my friends and family members lost a furry family member as well. I realized how important God’s creatures were to people and decided to develop a site for those seeking comfort, memorial products, and other services that would help them deal with their loss and perhaps find comfort in another furry friend.

MY GOODBYE
Given that death is such a touchy — almost taboo — subject, I knew I had to approach this section with sensitivity,
yet conviction. My personal experiences with death—especially recent experiences—was the “push” I needed to really believe in and promote the benefits of death planning.

The reality was that I had been to more funerals in my 37 years than most people I knew (one of my friends can count the number of funerals she’s been to on only one hand). Those who have made their final curtain call have gone in many different ways… diseases, car accidents, murder, suicide, and the list goes on...

As I’ve opened my arms and my ears to grieving widows, families, and friends over the years, I can’t help but remember some of the words I heard... “My mother didn’t have a grave plot, so I assumed she wanted to be cremated.”
“I don’t even know if Todd had a will.” Often, it seemed as though the stress of putting their loved ones

to rest was getting in the way of the natural grieving process. After all, there was no time to deal

with the shock and loss; decisions had to be made quickly.

To me, it just seemed wrong that death was such a “grey area.” Especially given that it was life’s

most predictable event. So, I decided to build a site that would help people understand the

benefits of death planning, not just for their loved ones, but for themselves. The site provides a

number of FREE planning documents, which took me many hours of research and preparation.

They are offered for free so that there aren’t any barriers to a person being proactive in their death planning.

The goal is that someday, someone will have a little less heartache and headache to deal with after a loved one dies because these documents were filled out by a compassionate individual.
