When someone you love passes away, it can be difficult to process your grief. As seniors lose spouses, friends and family members, it’s important to find healthy ways to memorialize those we love. Here are a few ideas:
Archive your memories
It’s easier than ever to store photos, notes, videos and other intangibles online. Apps like Immortalia even allow you to organize your loved one’s stories in an appealing way that you can revisit on the cloud whenever you like.
Sew a quilt
Sewing a memorial quilt can bring you comfort and create a lasting memento of the dearly departed.
Plant a garden
Especially if your loved one enjoyed the outdoors, planting a memorial garden can help you cope with your loss. Physical activity can help you process grief in a healthy way, and the blooms that come back year after year will remind you of your loved one.
Get creative
Instead of storing your loved one’s ashes in an urn, there are a number of creative things you can do, like having them incorporated into a coral reef to help preserve a disappearing habitat.
Choose what you keep
Don’t feel obligated to keep every object your loved one owned. Instead, choose a few things that were meaningful to you both and display them in your home.
