Remembering Your Dearly Departed in Creative Ways

Have you ever experienced dealing with the death of a loved one? You know how painful it is to know that she will not be with you for the rest of your life. But do not worry because there are a lot of creative ways to remember the dearly departed. By being creative, you will be able to smile and appreciate the times you have together, alleviating the sorrow of her departure.

For example, you can play your loved one's favourite song. Music is very powerful and, in the right moment, it can remind you of great memories. There may be times that when you hear this song, you can feel her essence in the room. It is as if she is saying that she will always be with you even if you cannot see her. You can also create a scrapbook and place pictures you took during your happy times together. If you have the skill, you can draw cartoons and symbols or write poems that illustrate the deceased's character, skills, and interest. You can also include a sample of your loved one's work in your scrapbook. In addition, if she was cremated, you can place the urn at a specially designated place in your home.

During her birthday, start up the DVD player and play a video of her when she was still alive. You can also invite her friends over so you can have a small party where all of you can reminisce about the times you spent with her. In addition, you can even serve the guests your loved one's favourite recipes. Lastly, plant a tree, a bush, or a garden of flowers near your window to pay homage to your loved one. In doing so, you can see her memory garden every day when you wake up or when you go out of the house.
