When someone is going through a loss, one way you can show love and care is through writing a condolence. While flowers and memorial gifts are appreciated and thoughtful gestures, many times, support for the bereaved comes to a close following the funeral service. A condolence letter sent after the fact can let the person know you're still thinking about them and show your care and concern.

It doesn't have to be a lengthy letter or contain all the counseling and words your friend or relative needs to hear at that time. It's the thought that counts and will mean the world to them in their time of grief.

You may not realize it, but there is actually quite a bit of writing that goes along with death. We want to take the month of February to discuss the different angles where love can be shown through words.

First and foremost is the obituary. Writing an obituary can be deeply personal, and it acts as a last love letter to your loved one. Whether you decide to write it alone, with your family, or with the help of your funeral provider, the obituary should honor the life of your loved one and share their story.

Include descriptions of your loved one's personality, tales of memorable events, aspects of each stage of your loved one's life, and you're sure to give a full picture and a sentimental love letter.

Middle Tennessee has several pet crematory options. Most veterinarians work with a crematory to provide that service to the families they serve. However, you also have the option of contacting one on your own behalf. Closer options can be found in Nashville, Murfreesboro, Smithville, Bell Buckle, Shelbyville, and Columbia.

Immediately after the death of a pet, the emotions are raw, and it can be difficult to know what to do. Some people may instinctively begin to dig a grave for their companion, but what if circumstances make it where you can't do that soon? What if you don't want to bury your pet?

If you want to bury but are unable to do so within a few hours following the death, it is okay. These are the factors to keep in mind.

1) Temperature: Is it hot or cold? If it's the middle of a blazing summer day, you're going to need to find a cool place to keep your beloved pet until you have time to bury him. A basement, garage, or cooler may offer you the temperature you need to be able to wait 24 hours if needed. If it is already cold outside, you will more easily be able to get away with waiting 24-48 hours.

2) Containment: No. Your pet does not need a casket and vault to be buried, but if you are waiting for several hours before burial, you will find a container of some sort helpful for reducing potential issues from decomposition. Able to bury sooner? A cardboard box may be sufficient. Some families will also use plastic bags to contain. If you are having to wait on the longer side, using a plastic bag, tying it shut, and laying an outdoor trashcan on its side with a lid to temporarily deter varmints may be the best solution for you.

If you choose not to bury your pet, contacting your veterinarian soon after the death can give you options for storage and potentially transport to a pet crematorium.
