Losing a pet can be overwhelming. After our cat died recently, I felt so lost and alone yet the memories were so vibrant in my mind. I knew I had to find a way to channel the energy into something that would help me overcome the sadness. A photo book allowed me to tell her story in photos and words and start my healing.

I searched my photos on Lightroom using keywords pertaining to my cat and put them all in a “Collection”. I used the Lightroom “Book” mode and created a quick and easy book linked directly to Blurb. The simplicity was just right for this project where I wanted to quickly get my words down. I made a 7″x 7″ soft cover book.

The following are some excerpts of the book:

How she came to be with us.

What she was like as a kitten.

Her relationship with the other animals.

Her relationship with people.

How she played and her favorite toys.

Fun photos and a story about a specific day.

Favorite details – her sounds.

Her personality.

Her physical characteristics.

Her favorite treats.

Her favorite places.

Her impact and what she taught us.

And a good-bye.

We all miss you soo much.  We now have this wonderful book to look through and remember all the things we love about you.
