how i keep her memory with me💕

losing someone you love is not easy. here’s how i always keep her in my heart. I am so lucky to have had someone who loved me as much as she did. ❤️

-last christmas i received my favorite teddy bear. in the card it had her voice recording of an old voicemail that my mom put together for all the grandkids. each bear is different because the bears were made out of clothing belonging to my grandmother. it feels so good knowing i can still hear her voice and hug her.

-listen to her old favorite songs. sometimes i’ll be walking through the mall and i will hear a song that reminds me of her. i quickly shazam it to always remember! we had a lot of dance parties to the Baby One More Time song and it will randomly come up sometimes. It happened on a shuffle my 23rd birthday. I know she is still with me.

-wearing her favorite pajamas. I feel blessed knowing I have a lot of ways to remember her. just wanted to share if this can help anyone out there.

... Read moreThe loss of a loved one can be a profound and life-altering experience. It often leaves us searching for ways to honor and remember them. One meaningful approach is to create lasting keepsakes, such as memory bears made from their clothing, which not only serve as a reminder of their presence but also hold sentimental value. Additionally, curating a playlist of their favorite songs can evoke cherished memories and emotions, turning everyday moments into reflective experiences. Music has a unique way of connecting us to our memories; hearing a familiar tune might bring us back to joyful celebrations or quiet evenings spent together. Incorporating pieces of their life into your daily routine, such as wearing their favorite pajamas or using items they once cherished, also provides comfort. These tangible connections help maintain a bond that transcends physical loss. Sharing stories about your loved ones with friends and family can foster a strong community of support and love during difficult times, allowing for mutual healing. Remembering those we’ve lost through our actions and thoughts creates a legacy that lives on, proving that they are forever in our hearts.
