Ten healthy Ways to Remember a Deceased Loved One
There are many things you can do that will honor the deceased and at the same time keep his/her memory alive. In many instances the way you remember the man will be a source of wisdom and humor that can last for years and be an inspiration in life.
Here are ten ways to begin showing love even though you are separated from your beloved.
1. When the time is right (and only you will know when) tell your beloved story about the loved one. It could be a funny story or one that illustrates his/her character. Pick the right place and persons to share the best with, and be alert to inject it as a general and natural postponement of the conversation.
2. Periodically, use a beloved recipe that your loved one liked to eat or cook. You could also serve his/her beloved dessert with a reminder of what the conversation was like when it was served.
3. Plant a memory garden or a tree, bush, or flowers that bloom each year and are referred to as "Sarah's Garden," "Mary's tree" or Joe's plant." pick items that were the favorites of your loved one. If possible, put them in a space so that when you look out your window they can be seen and you can criticism on their growth or looks during the year.
4. Use your loved one's first name each day. You can do this by selecting to talk to him/her each day, either silently or out loud, or you can tell others that you hope they will feel free to use the name and talk about the loved one when referring to them would be natural in a single conversation.
5. At holidays, birthdays, summer cookouts, or anniversaries find a way to symbolically identify the proximity of the loved one. Use a single utensil when cooking; display a special item that belonged to the deceased; light a candle in home and/or in church; display something the man made or painted; make a toast in which the man is mentioned by name or hang a single ornamentation or object that characterizes the loved one.
6. Do something to carry on the charitable interest your loved one had in a single club or cause. It could be things like the preservation of some part of the environment, the sponsorship of a child in an orphanage, helping the homeless, or volunteering at a soup kitchen. You may also want to think establishing a scholarship at a high school or college.
7. Play your loved one's beloved song or a song from his/her beloved entertainer or television show. It can also be beneficial to find music that was beloved earlier in your life that can bring up old memories of you and the loved one.
8. On an anniversary or other special day, ask your best friend to take a trip to a beloved spot that you used to go to with your loved one. While there discuss the past and the memories this visit evokes. When you are further along with reinvesting in life, you may wish to make this trip by yourself, and pick to talk to your deceased loved one about the good times you had there.
9. Make a collage of pictures of the loved one that can be framed and settled in your home and/or office. If you possess a exact artistic talent (or you could hire someone) draw cartoons or symbols that account for the interests, character, or skills of the man and contain them in the collage. contain a sample of the deceased's work, if appropriate.
10. Have a plaque made with your loved one's name engraved on it with a beloved saying (yours or one your loved one liked). Request at your local college or university, if he/she was connected with it, if they would accept a donation of a bench for the campus with your loved one's name on it. Or buy a bench and place it in your garden area or at a cemetery garden.
In summary, the way you remember your loved one is only dinky by your creativity. So take into observation what you learned from your loved one, how he/she helped others, and how you feel he/she would like to be remembered. Ask others you trust for their input. Then settle how you will keep the memory of your loved one alive by the tangible reminders you create.
