Healing Rituals
- Sing religious songs, favorites of the person
who died, or songs with special meaning.
- Remember and recognize significant dates and events. The anniversary
of the loved one's death, the deceased's birthday, and
wedding anniversaries are examples.
- Light a candle in honor or in memory of the person who died.
- Give a gift to a charity in the deceased's name.
- Plant a tree or rosebush in honor of the deceased.
- Write a letter to the loved one expressing feelings
you have or help children write a letter.
- Create a memory book with photos and written memories of the person
who died.
- Place items such as flowers and letters at the cemetery. Vandalism
can occur, so do not place treasured items at the gravesite.
