Say their name. 🦋
There is a common misconception that mentioning the name of someone who has died is upsetting, that it will remind loved ones of their loss. But as Carys, our Bereavement Support Manager, explains, she has found the opposite to be true.
"Families want to hear their loved one’s name said aloud. It demonstrates clearly that they are being forever remembered. It provides an opportunity for memories, stories, and love to be shared.”
It is one of the simplest, yet most powerful ways we can show that they are not forgotten.
This year, as part of A Star to Remember (our virtual tribute wall), you can write the name of the person you’re remembering on a virtual star, share a message or photo, and help their memory shine brightly.
