How to be there for someone who’s grieving
Someone you love has lost someone they love. You want to help. You've probably already typed and deleted three different messages, because everything you write sounds either too small or too much.
Small rituals of remembrance, and why they help
Lighting a candle on their birthday, cooking their favourite meal, a walk on the anniversary. Small, repeated acts of remembrance can make grief a little easier to carry. Here’s why, and how to find ones that feel right for you.
Ways to remember someone who has passed away: ideas big and small
There’s no right way to remember someone. Here are some ideas, from small everyday things to tributes that last for years, to help you find what feels right for you and the person you’ve lost.
The small, strange parts of grief nobody warns you about
They tell you it comes in waves. They don’t tell you that sometimes the wave is so small you almost miss it: a song on the radio, the smell of their coat, a Tuesday morning with nothing particularly wrong with it.
A permanent candle for someone you've lost. Their name, their years, your words.
