Making Christmas Special for Bereaved Families

We understand that Christmas can be a difficult time of year, when we often feel the loss of a loved one even more. Doing something special as a mark of remembrance can help families to cope and reflect. Here are some of our ideas:

Choose a special decoration to place on the Christmas tree
Light a memorial candle
Write a memorial star for our Tree of Light
Share memories over a Christmas meal
Have a toast in their honour
Watch their favourite Christmas film or listen to their favourite song
Hang a stocking in memory and write a note or letter to put inside

As part of our Tree of Light event this year, we have created a children’s activity sheet that can be shared with the family. Completing the activities with children may help to introduce the Tree of Light and allow families to talk about its meaning and importance.

If you’re finding Christmas time emotionally challenging, know you are not alone. There is much support available and you can find more information on our website.
