11. Who is the founder?

It's me, Myriam the founder of Concrete Memory, inspired by the creation of an urn for my cat who passed away in 2022.

The stages of grief:

1. Denial
Denial is often the first reaction to loss. At this point, the reality of the death may not be fully integrated. You may find yourself waiting for your pet or person to return or continuing with your usual routines out of habit.

Example: You come home from work and automatically go to fill your pet's food bowl, forgetting for a moment that he or she is gone. Or you hear a noise in the house and expect your pet to come running around the corner. It's hard to accept that your companion is truly gone, and your mind tries to protect you from the immediate shock of loss.

2. Anger
Once reality sets in, it’s common to feel anger or frustration. You might direct this anger at yourself, a veterinarian, or the situation as a whole. This is a natural part of the grieving process.

Example: You may feel angry at the veterinarian for not doing more to save your pet, or frustrated at yourself for not recognizing signs of illness sooner. You may think, “If only I had noticed something sooner, maybe he would still be here.” This stage can lead to a lot of “what if” thoughts and feelings of guilt.

3. Bargaining
In the bargaining stage, it is common to think about what you could have done differently to prevent the loss. You may relive the events leading up to your pet's death and wonder if things could have been different with more effort, time, or resources.

Example: You might think, “If only I had spent more money on treatments or taken him to the vet more often, maybe he would still be alive.” You might feel a sense of regret and wish you could turn back time, even though you know that’s impossible. Bargaining is an emotional attempt to regain control of the situation.

4. Depression
Depression often follows once the realization sets in that you can't change what happened. Feelings of sadness and loneliness can seem overwhelming at this point. The absence of your pet becomes more real, and you may struggle with daily routines that once included your companion.

Example: You may feel intense sadness whenever you think of your pet or see something that reminds you of them. Perhaps their favorite toy is still there, or you miss the sound of their paws. You may isolate yourself, struggling to participate in regular activities, and the void left by your pet may feel especially heavy during this time.

5. Acceptance
Over time, acceptance begins to set in. This doesn't mean you forget your pet or the pain goes away, but you learn to live without their physical presence and make peace with their passing. You begin to find comfort in their memory and may even consider fostering another pet in the future.

Example: After a while, you might find comfort in remembering the good times you had with your pet. You might even consider adopting another pet—not to replace the one you lost, but to give your love to another companion. You know you’ll never love another pet the same way, but you also realize that your heart has room for another companion.

Grief is not linear
It’s important to remember that these stages aren’t always experienced in a specific order, and you may move between them. Grief is a unique journey, and it’s okay to feel emotions in your own way and at your own pace.
