Capture Your Grief – Rituals

What are some of the things you do to remember your child?

I have never been a flower person.

But since loosing Rhianna, we always have some sort of flower in the house.

Her funeral was full of lilies.

After her name.

And for weeks after we had lilies in our house.

A couple of years ago her big brother suggested that for her birthday month we should have flowers in our house every day for the whole of March.

We have done it ever since.

At Christmas we buy flowers that we all think she would like.

For our wedding anniversary this year her Daddy brought me a peace lily to have at home all the time.

Flowers are her thing.

Lilies are definitely her thing.

Forever it will be her thing.

And will be our way of remembering her and thinking about her.
