A Last Memory Together

A Guide On Pet Love, Loss, & Healing

Publication

Overview

Inspired by a personal experience with loss, this educational project reimagines and expands upon Pray’s Paws and Remembrance: An Unforgettable Friend Healing Guide. This redesign transforms the original resource into a more interactive, visually guided experience—one that blends gentle illustration, thoughtful typography, and reflective writing prompts.

The illustrations throughout the guide are intentionally stylized—slightly whimsical and warm—using flowy lines, soft shapes, and curves to evoke the presence and comfort of beloved pets. Their simplicity allows the content to lead, keeping the visuals soothing rather than overwhelming. Several illustrations were thoughtfully remixed and redrawn from original works by Kozerog2015 on Adobe Stock, adapted to match the publication’s tone, palette, and purpose.
