Pet Reliquaries by Lisa Havelin
A reliquary is defined as a receptacle to contain a relic of a saint, sacred object, or something treasured. As such, reliquaries provide us with a very special way to maintain a tangible link to that which is important to us. Animals hold a special place in our lives—as beloved friend, family member and, sometimes even, teacher. When a pet dies, a reliquary allows us to keep their memory alive and close. Some wonderful grief/loss links included on this site.
