Christmas in Heaven Lantern
A DIY Project to Help Heal Hearts

For individuals and families who have experienced the recent loss of a loved one, the pain of their grief can be overwhelming at times. Bereavement counsellors often recommend engaging in a remembrance project to recognize the loss and reflect on the relationship that was shared.

Building a Christmas in Heaven Lantern is one way to keep thoughts of a loved one close this time of year.

Materials can be purchased at either a craft store or online. These lanterns can be as simple or as elaborate as the person creating the project wishes. A list of items follows: the lantern, the poem “Christmas in Heaven”, a miniature chair, a battery operated tea-light candle, a miniature tree, a small picture of your loved one and a package of fake snow fluff. Miniature presents, wreaths and other items can also be added.

Putting together the lantern shouldn’t take too much time. Allow time to shop to make sure you have all the items you wish to include in the lantern. This may take some time depending on supply availability. This could be a gift or a project that is completed with the spouse or close family member of the deceased.
