先给自己一个可以暂停的位置
Make room to pause
纪念可以很小：把项圈收进信封、给一张照片写日期，或者今天什么都不整理。以下是本站设计的记录活动，不是必须完成的步骤，也不是心理治疗。选择你愿意靠近的一件事即可。
Remembrance can be small: put a collar in an envelope, date one photograph or leave everything untouched today. These are editorial writing activities, not required steps or therapy. Choose only what feels approachable.
Cornell 的宠物离世支持资料指出，每个人的悲伤反应与时间进程可能不同。若情绪持续影响睡眠、饮食、工作或照顾自己的能力，可以联系合适的专业支持；不要把自己是否“恢复得够快”当成考核。
Cornell’s pet-loss resources describe individual differences in grief and its timing. If distress continues to affect sleep, eating, work or self-care, consider appropriate professional support. There is no test for recovering fast enough.
写一封不必完成的信
A letter you do not have to finish
把纸分成四小段，每段写一句也可以。第一段只记一个具体场景，第二段写一个你学会的小习惯，第三段留给没来得及说的话，最后一段写明天愿意为自己做的一件事。写不出来的地方可以空着。
Divide a page into four short parts. One sentence each is enough: a specific scene, a small habit you learned, something left unsaid and one thing you would like to do for yourself tomorrow. Leave any part blank.
我最先想起的画面是……
因为你，我一直保留着……这个习惯。
还有一句话，我想慢慢告诉你……
明天我想先做的一件小事是……The first scene I remember is…
Because of you, I still have this habit…
Something I would like to tell you, in time, is…
One small thing I would like to do tomorrow is…
这封信可以只属于你。无需发布，也无需把它写成完整故事。如果你愿意分享，先删去家庭地址、医疗账单、订单号和其他人的私人信息。
The letter can remain private. It does not need an audience or a complete story. If you share it, remove home addresses, medical bills, order numbers and other people’s private details.
做一份能找得到的记忆档案
Make a memory collection you can find again
- 先选三张照片：第一次相遇、普通的一天、一个你喜欢的表情。每张写下时间、地点的大致描述与一句回忆。Start with three photos: meeting, an ordinary day and an expression you love. Add a date, general setting and one memory.
- 保留原始文件，另建一个分享文件夹。编辑、裁剪和公开上传使用副本，避免覆盖唯一原件。Keep original files and create a separate sharing folder. Edit and upload copies rather than overwriting your only original.
- 实物先做清单：项圈、玩具、照片、书面记录。决定哪些保留、哪些晚些再看，不急着全部整理。List physical objects: collar, toys, photographs and written records. Decide what to keep now and what to revisit later.
- 想请别人一起写时，只问一个具体问题：“你记得它做过哪一件有趣的小事？”是否署名和公开由对方选择。Invite others with one concrete question: “What small, funny moment do you remember?” Let them choose whether to be named or published.
如果你购买纪念品，先确认是否会消耗全部材料、能否退还余料、制作周期，以及文字和尺寸是否需要确认。把这些选择放在精力允许的时候，不必与接运同一天完成。
Before commissioning a keepsake, ask whether all material is used, whether the remainder is returned, production time and how wording and dimensions are approved. These decisions need not be made on collection day.
与孩子、家人谈起它
Talking with children and family
Cornell 建议诚实地让孩子参与对话，允许提问，并认真倾听。本站的“彩虹星球”是纪念意象；与孩子解释死亡时，不应让这个故事替代清楚、适龄的事实说明。
Cornell recommends honest conversations with children, room for questions and attentive listening. Our Rainbow Planet is an image for remembrance; it should not replace a clear, age-appropriate explanation of death.
你可以邀请孩子画一个共同经历过的场景，也可以让他选择不参加。家人对照片、物品和仪式有不同节奏时，可以分别保留自己的方式，先征得同意再公开他人的故事。
You can invite a child to draw a shared memory while allowing them to decline. Family members may approach photos, possessions and rituals differently. Leave room for separate choices and ask before publishing another person’s story.
家中其他宠物若出现持续的行为或进食变化，不要只归因于想念，应请兽医评估。
If another pet has persistent changes in behavior or eating, seek veterinary assessment rather than assuming grief is the only cause.
把仪式做得简单、可重复
Keep a ritual simple and repeatable
可以选一个有意义的日子，重走一小段熟悉的路，拍一张当天的天空，把新照片放进同一个文件夹。也可以每年写一句“这一年我还记得……”。仪式是否昂贵、是否有人参加，都不决定它的意义。
On a meaningful date, walk a familiar short route, photograph the sky and put the image in the same folder. Or write one annual sentence beginning “This year I still remember…” Cost and attendance do not determine its meaning.
在公共土地放置物品、种树、埋葬或撒灰前，向土地管理单位确认许可。没有办理这些活动的条件，也可以用信件、照片或家中的小角落保存记忆。
Ask the land manager before placing objects, planting, burying or scattering in a public place. Letters, photographs and a quiet corner at home remain options without those activities.
