Traditions after loosing a Loved One

Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

Hi Everyone,

I just read this from my friend Anita Larson who is a Funeral Celebrant overseas. I liked it so much I wanted to share it. She wrote an article about how keeping traditions or making new ones after the death of a loved one is helpful.
Hope you like this story:

Christmas
"My brother travelled the world and left us too soon. He collected Snow Globes from every destination and would often bring one back for Mom & Dad. We are continuing the tradition by purchasing a Snow Globe wherever our travels take us this year. His collection of over 100 Snow Globes is on display at our parent’s home along with a map with pushpins marking every place he visited. We will each take turns shaking the Snow Globes while listening to his favourite Country Christmas songs."

Do you have any traditions you keep or have started?
Would love to hear about what you do.
As we head into 2019, may we find Peace, Love, Grace and Kindness.
