REMEMBERING YOU

About the Book

Death and grief are not about forgetting, but about finding ways to remember. Sharing memories and talking about your child enables you to keep their memory alive and validate their existence. Memories can be found everywhere, and by taking an active part in creating ways to remember you can turn your memories into cherished possessions. Finding ways to remember can help you through the healing process and bring comfort when you need it most. ‘Remembering you’ gives you practical advice on creating treasured memories and provides a guide for friends and families who wish to support bereaved parents.
