When we talk about the person we lost, it’s not for sympathy.
It’s because remembering them is the only way we still get to love them out loud.

Some people think sharing memories means we are “stuck.”
But truthfully…it’s how we keep their presence woven into the world.
It’s how we honor the life that mattered.
It’s how we refuse to let their story fade in silence.

We don’t post because we want people to feel sorry for us
We post because their name deserves to be spoken.
Their life deserves to be remembered.
And our hearts deserve a place to put the love that didn’t disappear when they did. 💔

Music has a way of reaching places words cannot.

A favourite song can bring back memories, evoke smiles, and offer comfort during moments of loss.

Choosing music that reflects your loved one’s life can be a beautiful way to honour who they were and what they loved.
