Retired AirMan's Sacred Embers

I created these Sacred Embers for a woman and her mom.  The ashes were of her father, who was a retired AirMan from the United States AirForce.  Below is the message that she sent me:  

"Today I picked up Sacred Embers of my dad - one for my mom and one for myself. They are beautiful. My father passed away 8 years ago (yesterday) and now I have a piece of him to keep with me forever. When I first met Carolyn (through the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce) I knew I wanted to have a Sacred Ember created, b...ut wasn't sure how my mom would feel about wanting some of my dad's ashes. I finally asked and when she found out what I wanted to do, she decided to have one made for herself as well. Thank you Carolyn - you are special woman and I am very glad I met you.

Donald's Sacred Embers

Today I gave the Sacred Embers done in honor of Donald the horse.  Circumstances were a bit difference and I created the Sacred Embers with some of Donald's mane hair.  I know that Donald is in very green pastures now.............running free! 

Closure

When someone loses a person or pet in their life to death, for whatever reason, there is a void left.  There are so many thoughts & memories.  Sometimes, even anger for the "leaving".  And of course there is the sadness & heartfelt pain.  Take peace in knowing that your lost one will always be with you.  When the vessel, or body can no longer survive, the spirit lives on!  Take time to mourn, find closure and allow yourself to have sad moments, but know that "they" wouldn't want you to continue to be sad.  They love you and want you to continue on with life.  You will never forget them, that's not a possibility. 

I can tell you from personal experience that it is never easy, but I know they would hope for more smiles than tears of sorrow. 

Smile when you think of them and live life!  

Angel idea for Sacred Embers

Here is an idea for Sacred Embers. This angel (which does not have ashes) can be done with ashes for a Sacred Embers. Again, colors, size, etc. will vary.

Sacred Embers

Today I delivered a Sacred Embers & this is part of an email sent to me by Patti. This is why Sacred Embers is so extremely important to me:

"It is because of your passion and caring that makes both you and your works of art so beautiful and so special to others. You should be very proud of the service you offer those that lost their beloved family, pets, etc. I sing your praises to all that may want to embark on this great adventure.

Many Sacred Embers

Here is a collection of some of the Sacred Embers that I have personally done for myself. There are so many options, all so very personal and unique.

Here are pendants, window ornaments (or suncatchers), a dish. Each one-of-a-kind.

A Facebook post by a special client

This is a message by a special Sacred Embers client that was written on my Sacred Embers Facebook page:

"My heart and soul are blessed and comforted with the sincere unique attention that Carolyn Osborne has provided me as I continue this journey on life with out Shay Darlene Youngblood by my side. She has made it possible to include Shay in my daily life and to bring comfort to my soul just touching the pendant. She took the time to find just the right place to place Shay's ashes and Puppy's ashes in a very beautiful spot. Because she cares....she noticed a rock that glowed that she knew I had to have and sent it to me. Carolyn is in tune with each and every one of us."

When I receive words like these from my Sacred Embers clients it means more to me than I can possibly ever express adequately.
