This special memorial is a constant reminder to always strive to achieve balance in our lives and not to take our loved ones for granted.  Tell them how much you love them at every opportunity - and even when they have passed - this is a constant reminder that they are ever present with you… blessing and protecting you from up above.

The Guardian of the Sanctuary Memorial represents all the unconditional love that surrounds us from all those loved ones who have passed before us and some…way too early.

​

On July 25th, 2018, we suffered the terrible, sudden and heartbreaking loss of our beloved Yang, the Guardian of the Sanctuary, who went to Heaven at a very young age. Yang was a 125 pounds male rottweiler who was the most loving big bear, especially with the ladies.  His cheerful attitude, loving heart, and soulful eyes are ever-present in our souls at his home, the Sanctuary. We named him Yang- from the Yin and Yang- as it represents the masculine and universal energy perfectly matching Yang's upbeat, strong and cheerful personality. After his sudden passing, we decided not to bury his body but to plant his body at the place that he loved the most: The Sanctuary.

​

This way Yang will grow stronger and happier at the Sanctuary as the Guardian of the Sanctuary. From the ground, his roots are deepening to protect the Sanctuary, and those in it. We decided to plant a beautiful Jacaranda tree in his honor with purple-blue flowers which will grow as one of the tallest trees at the Sanctuary. At the bottom of the memorial, you will find Mexican river rocks and white marble chips creating the Yin and Yang: the balance between masculine and feminine; hot and cold; powerful and weak.

​

This special memorial is the first feature of the Cycle of Life and a constant reminder to always strive to achieve balance in our lives and not to take our loved ones for granted.  The Guardian of the Sanctuary Memorial represents all the unconditional love that surrounds us from all those loved ones who have passed. As expected, the Sanctuary is a pet-friendly environment, and we love to have our families incorporate their pets into their special celebration.

Yang, the Guardian of The Sanctuary

​

To lose a loved one is one of the worst tragedies a person can endure in this lifetime. The emptiness and heartache left behind by the absence of him or her trigger an indescribable pain within. To imagine the silhouette of that special being present at the places which were frequented together with you brings a constant sadness to the heart...

​

Nonetheless, the loss and the feeling of loneliness are made worse by the misunderstanding that surrounds death. The death of our physical bodies is nothing more than our transition to a more special and transcendental plane where we go back to be directly connected to our divine essence. The more we are connected to our spiritual being - the more we feel the presence of that special being who was called upon to join the Heavens. Even if the body is no longer with us, the spirit of our loved departed ones surrounds us, especially when we are connected to Mother Nature and have been praying and meditating for that special one.

​

Like Birth, Death is also a main phase of the Cycle of Life. Although it is painful, let’s not forget that death is the passing of our souls into a higher existence. But those souls can and do very often serve as Guardian Angels for their loved ones. On July 25th, 2018, we suffered the terrible, sudden and heartbreaking loss of our beloved Yang, the Guardian of the Sanctuary, who went to Heaven at a very young age.
