Not So Easy Christmas

Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

Christmas is coming!
Is this Christmas going to be a first for you since someone you loved passed away?
Perhaps, this year, marks two or more years since your loved one left this earthly life?
One thing you might like to do is create a tradition with them in mind.
Possible ideas are:
* set a place for them at the table
* say a prayer of thanksgiving that they lived
* make a dish and give it their name "Noeline's Desert"
* collect some berries because that is what they used to do
- "Keith's Berries".
* listen to their favourite music
* go for a walk or have a game with them in mind because that is what they liked to do

The memory of a person no longer with us can be a powerful aid in coping with our grief.
Strength and Peace be yours this Christmas.
With Kind Wishes to you all
Rhonda
