Capture your Grief - Day 11 - Tribute, Do you
do anything to honour your child’s memory on special dates?
On Lily’s birthday we always have a family meal and it always involves cake! We get together
with family and friends and we just spend time together. We have done a variety
of things like letting off balloons, floating lanterns (decorated by family),
sparklers etc. But ultimately it is a time to get together in her honour. Lily
is never far from our minds and always in our hearts. She appears in conversations
regularly so it isn’t even about ‘remembering’ her or her story. Her legacy is
love and togetherness, and it is exactly what we do on her birthday.
At Christmas time each of our children get a new
decoration to add to the tree each year, and that includes Lily.
Other than that, we don’t have set things we do, but we
do make sure she is included in our special times, our Christmas’, Easters,
Birthdays etc.
