Keep Memories Alive

  • Leave photographs out where they can be seen.


  • Allow each child to choose something that belonged to the deceased to keep with them; including clothing, or mementos the child and the deceased shared.


  • Share memories aloud. Not all memories are happy or positive. It's okay to share the good and the bad memories.


  • Talk about the person who died.


  • Acknowledge feelings and special events when they occur.
