A Box of Memory (Creating a Grief Box)
When to Use It: When you need to feel close, or when memories start slipping through the cracks.
Why It Matters: A grief box is a tangible container of love, presence, and story. It gives memory a home.
Steps:
Find or decorate a small box or container.
Fill it slowly, letters, photos, fabric, scents, jewellery.
Add handwritten notes or a journal entry.
Visit it when needed. Let it be both comfort and cry-space.
Optional Add-Ons:
Include a “permission slip” to feel what you feel.
Let others contribute one memory or item.
Create one for each season.
Blessing:
“This box holds more than items. It holds echoes of laughter, fingerprints of love, and the weight of someone unforgettable.”
