The Story Behind Luna's Light Keepsakes
Luna's Light was born from heartbreak after unexpectedly losing my sweet rescue dog, Luna, from complications following her routine spay surgery. It was a nightmare to live through, and for a long time I didn’t know what to do with all the sadness I felt. I still struggle with grief, and still feel the anxiety that night branded into me; especially around the health and well-being of my other rescue dogs, one of which struggles with multiple health issues. Because of this, I started searching for safe places to put my grief and anxiety.
That's where these woodland houses come in.
I started building them a couple of years ago to give to friends, but the true healing from making them came after Luna passed in November 2024. I made one to use as a memorial piece to have somewhere I could visit Luna's memory whenever I was missing her. I keep a little charm filled with her ashes right outside, and I can visit her anytime.
She lives there now. She is safe, loved, and always remembered.
Making it made me feel closer to our good moments together, and displaying it has been a beautiful way to honor her memory. After a friend of mine lost his dog, it clicked that I wanted to make these houses for people who’ve lost their loved ones. That way they always have a spot they can go to be with them, and I can continue to heal through my grief and honor Luna’s memory by making them My hope is that this little piece of my heart can bring people some comfort in their grief.
