You just lost your dog or cat
It probably happened in the last few days. The house is too quiet, and you don't know what to do with your hands, or your time, or the bag of food still in the pantry. There's no right way to do this next part - but here's one gentle thing you can do, whenever you're ready.
There's no timeline for this
Some people want to do something right away - it gives grief somewhere to go. Others can't look at photos yet, and that's just as normal. If you're reading this in the first hard days, there is nothing you need to do today. This will still be here whenever you're ready, in a week or in a year.
A memorial video, when you're ready
When it does feel right, a memorial video is a short narrated film made from their photos - gentle motion, music, and their story told in a real voice, built from your own words. You write a few sentences about them, whatever comes to mind: their name, their habits, the thing only you would know. Nothing invented, no generic filler.
It's not a replacement for grieving - it's just a place to put what you're feeling, something you can watch on the days you miss them most.
