When we lose a loved one, we lose a piece of our heart. The loss of a loved one is a traumatic experience. Depending on the relationship you had with the deceased will depend on how huge the piece of your heart is missing. My heart is shattered in pieces from losing my son.
With all the love around me from family and dear friends and knowing my son’s spirit is alive, I am coping, but my heart will always be hollow and cracked until I see my son again.
In one of my articles, You Are Always on My Mind, I talked about doing things to remember our loved one. Seeing Memorial Keepsake Gifts around the house brings back loving happy memories and wearing my grief jewelry makes me have a warm peaceful feeling in my broken heart. It helps a lot!
Grieving individuals want to hold on to something in memory of their loved one. Something that is concrete and has a purposeful meaning. Flowers are absolutely wonderful but when they turn brown and yucky, we have to sadly throw them away.
I actually got really down when it was time to throw away the flowers that were sent for Chase’s funeral. I took good care of them and trimmed them when needed and gave them fresh water but there was that special time they had given all the beauty they could and it was time to say goodbye. 🙁
Throughout the last four months, I have accumulated remembrance gifts. They are all over the house and I adore seeing them. Because of this, I decided to find some meaningful Memorial Keepsake Gifts to share with you. I chose these gifts individually. They’re so emotionally sweet! I hope you enjoy them.
If you find one you like or would like to support a family member or friend who is grieving with a thoughtful memorial keepsake gift, simply click on the name of the highlighted gift and it will take you directly to the product. Thank you kindly!
