Remembering

[pollyanne1]

My beautiful step daughter lost her mother sadly 2 years ago tomorrow, her grandparents (mothers parents) had her cremated and still have her ashes in their bedroom so her and her 2 siblings don't have anywhere in specific to remember their mother. They've let balloons off for the past 2 years but step daughter doesn't understand why they do it. She's 8 and she does understand death and things like that. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can remember her?

Thanks in advance xo

Could you plant a tree/rosebush/flowering shrub either in your garden or somewhere special for the children? They could choose & do the planting? And it will give them something to visit in the future too.

Or visit a place they remember as enjoying with their mum each year? Beach/local beauty spot/hill something like that.

Maybe she could have some of her mothers ashes made into a necklace that way a part of her will always be with her

Would you get a tree planted?

Oops just realised this has been suggested. Visit somewhere on the date of her death or birthday? Like somewhere they liked to go?

Even a bench or charity donation, depending on funds.
