CELEBRATION OF LIFE: Our friends daughter really wanted all of the guests to Share Memories of her dad. We got these cards and decorated a box to sit out at her dads Celebration of Life.  We set the cards on the table and beside the box and a lot of guests filled them out 🤍

CELEBRATION OF LIFE: We ordered this box for the Memory cards to go in.  We got red for GA Bulldogs (his favorite). It comes in other colors, but it was a good size for the table and cards.

I bought this for the family.  I wasn't sure who may use it and who wouldn't. A big part of loss is not sharing current things going on, exciting news, etc. with the person who was lost.  So I felt like this would be a good way to help feel in some way like they were talking to him, still sharing daily lives.

Adult Grief Journal - I ordered this for my friend that lost her husband.  Grief Sucks and this doesn't sugar coat it.  Its a more blunt, real look at this type of loss, not fluffy…real.

PHOTO BRACELETS: This is similar to a gift the girls received and I see them wear it almost everyday.  Each one has a picture of her and her dad. There are a variety of colors and options out there. It doesn't have to be this one, just something similar that you can customize the photo inside.  I think it is meaningful and they seemed to really appreciate them.  Ages 10 & 16.

NAME A MEMORIAL STAR: Did you know you can do this? You can! I did it for another friend that recently passed for his children and his twin brother.  Everyone seemed to really like it and think it was special to remember their loved one in this way.  It may seem kind of cheesy, but it is pretty cool! You receive a certificate and instructions on how to find the star. I took the certificate and framed it and gifted that way.

MEMORIALLIGHT CRYSTAL: I have not purchased this, but knowing what I know now, grief really makes you look at the world/sky. I am not sure if we are just constantly looking to the sky for signs, or what? All I can tell you is when the light is just r... I think this would be such a special gift for anyone grieving and finding themselves looking at the sky and finding a bit of peace with rainbows.

GIFT BOX: I have not purchased this, however, again - knowing what I know now, I would have dropped this off pretty quickly after my friends husband passed.  This would also be a nice gift if you know someone that recently miscarried.  It just looks like “peace” doesn't it? I think this would be a great gift to send.

SYMPATHY CANDLE: Sorry for the profanity but this is so true.  Because grief does.  And it doesn't go away and the person experiencing knows this…and that sucks. So if you have a bit of “weird” humor, this could be a gift that might get a bit of a chuckle. I actually may add this to cart now as well!
