Beloved Hearts Memorial As a guardian of the
Beloved Hearts Memorial you create. You can return at any time to change a
favorite article, leave new flowers and shrubbery, change the season of the
residency or leave a special memory of your loved one. This is a loving gesture
of the memory of a loved one. Create
a Beloved Hearts Memorial for your Loved One.
Garden Pond
Create a water pond in memory of your Loved One. It a project of love. Add fish
and planted flowers and plants around it. The birds take baths in it and frogs
lie on the lilly pads. The sound of the water is so comforting. Buy a corian
marker that says "In Loving memory of... " with the departed's name and dates
engraved. Anyone that visits can see the beauty of nature and the love and
respect you have for your Beloved.
Album and Memorial Table Put an
album together with pictures and memories. Some set up a memorial on a table in
a favorite room with the Departed's urn, a piece of the Beloved's hair in a
frame with a photo, a candle and the Beloved Hearts poem. Many will light a
candle, especially on their departed's
anniversary.
Volunteer Volunteer to help others by Grief Counseling ,
or on-line at Grief Support chat rooms (to just be there as a friend for
support). Some go on to create a fund in their departed's name, raising money
for causes that were special to their dearly departed.
Memorial Web
Sites Create a memorial web site for your Beloved. Many Internet Service
providers, including AOL, provide free space for their members to create a web
site. Add stories with photo's and memories of your Loved
One.
Jewelry Many wear memorabilia like a piece of hair or a photo in
a locket or wear a pin in memory of their Loved One. Some buy jewelry with the
departed's name engraved on it.
