How To Keep Your Loved Ones Closer To Your Heart

Grief and loss can be overwhelming, and finding ways to keep your loved departed one close to your heart can provide comfort and solace during a challenging time. While everyone copes with loss differently, here are some meaningful things you can do to keep your loved ones closer to your heart and honor their memory.

Ways To Keep Your Loved Ones Closer To Your Heart

At Wagg Funeral Home, we believe that sometimes even the most minor things can help keep your loved ones closer to your heart. Here are some ways to do this:

Create A Memorial Space

Setting up a dedicated memorial space in your home can be a beautiful way to keep your loved one close to your heart. This could be a corner with their photograph, a special candle, or objects that remind you of them. You can also create a memory box with their belongings or cherished mementos and revisit it whenever you want to feel connected to their memory.

Wear Keepsake Jewelry

Wearing keepsake jewelry, such as a pendant or bracelet that contains a small amount of your loved one's ashes or a piece of their clothing, can be a meaningful way to keep them close to your heart. You can customize the jewelry with their initials, birthstone, or other personal touches to make it even more special.

Plant A Memorial Garden

Planting a memorial garden in your yard or at a special place can be a beautiful way to honor your loved one's memory and create a peaceful space for reflection. You can choose flowers, plants, or trees that were significant to your loved one or have special meaning to you and spend time tending to the garden to connect with their memory.

Write Letters Or Journal

Writing letters or journaling can be a therapeutic way to express your thoughts and emotions and keep your loved ones close to your heart. You can write letters to your loved one, share memories, thoughts, and feelings, or jot down your ideas in a journal to process your grief and keep their memory alive.

Share Stories And Memories

Heartwarming ways to keep a loved one's memory alive include telling tales about them and sharing recollections with others. Gather with friends and family to remember the good times, laugh over old stories, and honor the memory of the one who has passed away. You can also create a virtual memorial where people can share their memories and images.
