Every guest is special to us, and we cherish the time we spend together. We are always looking for ways to honor this sacred and special time for both our guests and their loved ones. When entering our Home, visitors will now have a special reminder that is lit only when one of our guests is preparing for their journey home. Being mindful of your presence may look like taking an extra moment to breathe. It may look like letting go of the other cares of the day and quieting yourself. It can look different for all of us—but for everyone we hope it will serve as a reminder to be present and bring extra care and intention. (Text reads: A lantern serves as a guiding light home. If the lantern is lit, one of our guests is completing their journey home. Please be mindful of your presence to honor and respect this sacred time.)

The Memorial Process 💙 To honour your pet’s memory and to offer comfort to your family, our memorial process as part of the Perfect Goodbye incorporates several meaningful elements, now including an initial step to ensure ample time for goodbyes: Goodbye Time ⛅️ Recognising the importance of not rushing this final farewell, we allocate significant time for you and your family to be ready and say goodbye in your own time. This period allows for reflection, sharing memories, and expressing love, ensuring the process respects your need for a personal and unhurried farewell. Floral Tribute 💐 Flowers are placed on your pet's body, symbolising love and respect. Floating Candle 🕯 A candle set to float in a water bowl represents the light of your pet's spirit, offering a serene and reflective moment. Essential Oils 🍊 Orange essential oil is gently applied to your pet's coat, providing a sense of calm and serenity. Gentle Music 🎶 Soft, gentle music plays in the background to create a soothing atmosphere during this time of reflection. Farewell Cards 💌 We provide cards for family members to write their goodbye wishes, which the cremation service can collect to accompany your pet on their final journey. Following these moments of reflection, I will confirm your pet’s peaceful passing, and if selected, I will arrange for the respectful collection by the cremation service. You will have the opportunity to say your final goodbyes as they are gently taken to the cremation vehicle. 💙🐾 #arkangelvet #drpatrick #inhomeeuthanasia #peteuthanasia #peacefulpassing #perthpets #petsofperth #memorialprocess #sayinggoodbye

“Same Procedure as Last Year" In Europe, year-end celebrations often revolve around rituals and traditions. In Sweden and Germany, the annual airing of "Dinner for One" on New Year's Eve is a classic tradition. This comedy sketch, originally a theatre piece, features Miss Sophie, a 90-year-old hosting a dinner for her birthday. With all her friends departed, her butler, James, steps in, playing each guest and indulging in their drinks, leading to comedic chaos as the evening progresses. Having lived in Sweden for over six years, I'm still baffled by this tradition, yet like everyone else, I tune in yearly (as it's been done since 1976). The catchphrase - “Same procedure as last year” - has even seeped into everyday language. So, why persist with this ritual? Why not change or abandon it? I believe it's about connectivity. This tradition unites us, creating a collective energy that promotes closeness and understanding. It's a reminder to empathise and connect with others, which is so important in today's world. Here's to a Happy New Year, and may 2024 bring you much connection with your family, friends, colleagues and community! https://lnkd.in/dBSj4cmv #emapthy #ritual #connectedness #tradition
