A Life Remembered

We gather here in quiet grace,
To honour one we can’t replace.
Though time may dim the voice we knew,
Its echo stays in all we do.

The love you gave still lights our way,
Bright through the night, sure through the day.
Your laughter lingers, soft and clear,
A gentle presence we hold near.

Though parting hurts, we understand,
You’ve slipped beyond, held by God’s hand.
Not gone, but changed — your spirit free,
Still woven through our memory.

So rest in peace, dear heart, go on,
Your story’s beauty won’t be gone.
In every blossom, breeze, and flame,
We speak your love, we bless your name.

Week 51: Consider starting a grief blog or sharing your story to help others.

As your journey through grief evolves, you may find that your story holds the power to comfort and guide others. Writing about your experience can be healing, a way to make sense of your own emotions while offering light to those still lost in the fog of loss.

Starting a grief blog doesn’t have to be complicated. It can begin with a few honest words shared online, a journal entry turned public, or reflections posted to support groups. What matters most is your authenticity. When we share our stories, we remind others they’re not alone, and we honour the memory of those we’ve loved.

Your voice might be exactly what someone else needs to hear this week. 💫

Week 50: Reflect on how your relationships have changed or deepened through this experience.

Grief reshapes the connections in our lives. Some relationships grow quieter, while others deepen with empathy and understanding. This week, take a moment to notice how your circle has shifted, who shows up, listens, or simply sits beside you in silence. Healing often happens through the people who walk with us. 💛

Grief has a way of slowing the world down. In the quiet moments, when the house feels a little too still, and memories seem to echo, we often find ourselves searching for meaning.

Rabbi Steve Leder’s *For You When I Am Gone* is a heartfelt guide through that search. In it, he invites us to reflect on the lessons, values, and stories we carry, the kind that define who we are and how we love. The book encourages families to create their own “ethical will,” a legacy of wisdom and love that speaks long after we’re gone.

It reminds us that every farewell also holds a deeper truth about life, that even in loss, there is gratitude for the gift of having known love so deeply. 🌿

If you’re grieving this season, may you find comfort in the stories, reflections, and memories that help keep your loved one’s spirit close. Their life is a story worth remembering and retelling, with love. 🌷

Our hearts are heavy as we reflect on the tragic events that have unfolded in Bondi. We extend our deepest prayers and heartfelt condolences to all those affected by this senseless act of violence.

To the victims, their families, the emergency responders, and the entire Bondi community, please know that our thoughts are with you during this unimaginable time.

May we draw strength from one another as we grieve, remember, and stand together in love and unity. 💛

Week 49: Create a list of coping strategies that have worked well for you.

Coping with grief means finding what helps you heal. Some strategies that work include reaching out to loved ones, practicing self-care, expressing your feelings through journaling or art, using mindfulness to stay present, honouring memories with rituals, and engaging in meaningful activities. Take gentle steps and be kind to yourself on this journey.

Week 48: Explore books on grief and healing for additional insights.

As we approach the final stretch of this year-long journey through grief, one powerful way to deepen your understanding and find new sources of comfort is through books on grief and healing. Literature offers not only insights but also connection—reminding us we are not alone in our experience.

This week, consider exploring a few well-regarded books that resonate with you. Whether memoirs, self-help guides, or poetic reflections, books about grief can open new pathways for processing emotions, offer practical coping strategies, and help reframe your healing journey.

Immersing yourself in these stories and wisdom can provide fresh perspectives and comfort as you continue to navigate your path toward peace. Remember, each page turned is a step forward on your journey.

Week 47: Plan a trip or outing that your loved one would have enjoyed.

Grief can make the world feel smaller, but reconnecting with places that once brought joy can help it open again. This week, plan a trip or outing your loved one would have loved, a quiet beach, a garden, a favourite café, or a scenic drive. Bring their memory with you in small ways: order their favourite drink, play a song they loved, or simply take a moment to reflect on how they made those moments brighter. Sometimes, honouring their joy helps us rediscover our own.
