Honouring Your Loved One
These are 5 of the most meaningful ways to remember your loved one.
Keep Something Of Theirs With You
A memento can be a great way to keep your loved one close to you at all times. Keeping an item of sentimental value, like jewellery, a keyring or another kind of keepsake can help you to honour them on a daily basis. It’s a subtle way of remembering them and holding them close to you.
Donate To A Cause Close To Them
Donating to a charity that was important to your loved one is another good way to honour them in a meaningful way. Finding a charity that was important to your loved one, or a new one that they would feel strongly about is a beautiful way to commemorate them whilst also helping others.
Start A New Tradition
Starting a new tradition is a good means of bringing something new and positive out of such an emotionally difficult situation. Whether it’s a gathering with friends and family, or a quiet solo tradition that makes you feel connected to your loved one, starting a tradition can help to build routine and encourage more social activities.
A Bespoke Headstone / Memorial
If you had your loved one buried, a bespoke headstone or beautiful memorial can be a permanent way to honour them. Having a meaningful, custom headstone can be a subtle yet sentimental way to honour your loved one. From inscriptions to headstones, there are a range of different styles out there, so that you can find the perfect fit for your friend or family member.
Do Something You Would Have Done Together
Doing something that you loved one enjoyed, or something you typically would have done together is a nice way of feeling close to them and honouring them. It can remind you of the positive memories that you shared and make you think fondly of them.
