While we’re in the midst of autumn, the Christmas period will be upon us before we know it. For families and friends who have suffered a recent loss, or a loss around the holiday season, grieving and remembering can be challenging. Our blog dives into some of the ways that you can cherish your loved ones this Christmas. To find out more, keep on reading!
How Can I Remember My Loved One Around Christmas Time?
These are some of our ideas to inspire you during the holidays. Grief can unite families and bring people closer together, which is exactly what each of our suggested activities can help you with.
Sharing Stories
Something as simple as exchanging stories, memories and laughing about the good times can be just the therapy you need. Grieving doesn’t have to be sombre or painful, and cherishing the good times can help you feel a lot better.
Cook & Eat Their Favourite Meal
You can even create a holiday tradition with this activity. Cooking and eating your loved one’s favourite meal can be another wholesome way to remember them and keep them close.
Keep A Candle Lit In Their Honour
Lighting a candle is something that many families do following the loss of a loved one and can be a nice way to honour them. You can use photos, decorations and even a scent that reminds you of them to remember them during the holidays.
Donate To A Charity
If your loved one had a charity or a cause that they were passionate about, it may be a nice gesture to donate to a charity or cause that was important to them. This can be a simple way to help others and create something positive in your time of grieving.
Visit Their Memorial Monument
If your loved one has been buried, going to visit their memorial monument can be a beautiful way to honour them. You may want to go with your family or go alone to visit them. You may want to take some flowers with you or a wreath of some kind to leave at the memorial. Visiting a memorial plaque or monument can be a cathartic part of the grieving process for many people, and it can help to bring some peace during Christmastime.
