Honouring The Pawprints That Touched Our Hearts
Reflecting on Your Pet's Legacy with Expressive Art, Shared Stories and Community Memorials
How I/we can help
I have a special place in my heart for those who have been touched by pet/animal loss and grief. Society norms often prevent people from being able to openly share their pet grief, resulting in 'disenfranchised grief', which negatively impacts our emotional well-being at any age. Having someone to listen or a community to lean into is important.
As a legacy storyteller trained in pet grief and loss, I help people create personalized ways to honour their animal companion’s life and share their stories. Together, we create meaningful tributes that celebrate the love, joy, and memories their pet brought into the world. Through my Give Back project, 100% of proceeds support the pet charities listed below. Mr. Carson Cares also hosts community initiatives like the annual walk for canine cancer and a pet memorial tree during the holiday season. Pet grief is a journey - you are not alone.
Pet Legacy Support
With formal training in Pet Grief and as a Positive Psychologist and Storyteller, I help you articulate & share your pet's story & explore how to memorialize their legacy.

MR. CARSON CARES
Carson's Calming Rainbows
Mr. Carson's Calming Rainbows are soothing in neutral tones of blue, gold, and brown. These calming rainbows serve as a gentle reminder to pause and breathe during moments of stress or worry.
By finding and sharing these rainbows, children learn the value of spreading kindness and calm to others. Each month, a few calming rainbows will be sent to kids who could benefit from a moment of calmness, fostering a sense of connection and emotional well-being. Also included is a small encouragement note from Mr. Carson!
Animals see us for who we really are. They witness our best and worst moments without judgement - only love, compassion, and acceptance. It is only natural that we deeply grieve and miss that kind of unconditional love.
