Search the Stars

Here are all the stars submitted for this year’s Tree of Light Memorial Service – have you written yours yet?

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:

1. Choose a special decoration to place on the Christmas tree
2. Light a memorial candle
3. Write a memorial star for our Tree of Light
4. Share memories over a Christmas meal
5. Have a toast in their honour
6. Watch their favourite Christmas film or listen to their favourite song
7. 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.
