• Re-open the gifts of memories time and time again.

• Take walks outdoors. Get in touch with nature and remember what a wonder life is.

• Make a memory album with pictures and special mementoes.

• Name something in honour of your loved one.

• Keep a keepsake of a loved one in your home. A piece of clothing, pillow, jewellery or something that makes you feel close to them.

• Find an area outside to make a little garden in remembrance of them. Plant a tree, gather some special stones and flowers.

• Take a moment of silence on special occasions to reflect on the goodness they brought to your life.

• Share and copy pictures of that special someone with others who miss them too.
  

• Share in memories over a dinner table on their birthday. It's o.k. to laugh with tears!
  

• Make yourself a special healing c.d with songs that express how you feel. Send someone a special song during their time of need.
