Our journey through grief is personal. Often it takes a long time. Be patient with yourself. You are transitioning from a personal relationship to a relationship established through memories. During this time of transition and beyond, rituals can be a meaningful and powerful source of strength and comfort. Rituals give meaning and richness to life. They more fully honor and enhance the memory of your loved one and the experiences in your life you shared together. Rituals and ceremony tend to touch us on a deeply emotional and personal level and can provide reassurance of peace and hope.
Memory Boxes and Photograph Albums Gather special items that remind you of your loved one. Photographs and memorabilia of a loved one honors that person and the relationship you shared. Place all the items in a box, decorate the box and / or create photograph albums. Keep them in a special place, display them, or share them with friends and family.
Holidays and Special Occasions Include a special, new ritual during important occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and holidays. You may choose to display a special photo beside a lit candle, dedicate a poem, offer a toast, hang an ornament or set a special place at the holiday table — all in memory of your loved one.
Candles
Memorial Services
Lighting a candle is one of the simplest, most effective rituals to remember someone who has died. It is a symbolic form of love’s light continuing to shine. A candle can create meditative, soothing effects leading to peace and hope. Lighting a candle can be very healing.
Attend a memorial service and share your grief with others. When grief is shared, a deeper healing can take place in your life.
Plant Flowers or Plant a Tree Planting favorite flowers, plants, or a tree in either your own yard or at a special memorial site can help heal grief and create beauty. Planting a tree can give you a constant, growing reminder of the continuation of life.
