Last week we gathered at Albany Creek Memorial Park for a memorial service where grieving people could come together, no matter what kind of loss they’re carrying.
We wrote letters to the people (& pets) we miss, lit candles in their names, sang together, and were present in our grief without having to hide it.
There were hugs and smiles and tears and laughter, sometimes all at once.
The written offerings will be cremated in the new year and will be placed at a special memorial in the park grounds for any one to visit at any time. Not everyone has somewhere to commune with their person/people. So, this gathering place will be very special… it’s a place to also honour your own grief & expressions of love, sorrow etc.
These gatherings are so important. Because grief can feel incredibly isolating, but when you’re surrounded by people who understand, it can bring comfort.
To everyone who came and shared a piece of their heart- thank you. You made the space what it was.
If you’re walking through grief right now, just know you don’t have to do it alone. Sometimes being with others who understand makes all the difference. 🫶🏻
