Grief Survivor: 30 Steps Toward Hope and Healing නියැදිය

A MEMORY BOX

The sky's the limit when creating a memory box. Your memory box might be a suitcase, a chest, or a storage box. Revisiting happy memories can be an important step on the path toward healing and rediscovering joy.

You might want to include a fragrance or aftershave your person enjoyed, a memorable clothing item, a cozy blanket, or reminders of their favorite sports team.

When children experience loss, providing a small suitcase can be a beautiful way to help them through a painful season. Having a tangible place a child can go to remember is also a terrific way to start a conversation with them. Encourage the child to draw pictures, watch a meaningful video with you, or collect sentimental reminders of the person they're missing.

Reflect: If you create a memory box or help a child with one, what would you put in it?
