Any ideas on what people can do as daily reminders about your parents....?

Question

both of my parents are deceased. I miss them terribly especially when I'm going through rough times in my life. For those of you who no longer have your parents in your life, what do you do to keep them near in your heart?

Answer 1

I made a scrapbook with memory pages of my mom and also my grandparents who died. From there I got interested in learning more about their parents and other relatives. I now have a memory book I hope to share with my child some day that will have pictures, stories, and momentos from the relatives they won't get to know in person but will know through me. In this way I still feel close and connected with them and their memories stay alive in us. I also have a collection of recipes from my grandmother and mother. We aren't religious but we connect with the cultural and spiritual traditions that have meaning for us. So at Halloween time now we prepare a meal that uses dishes that our loved ones who have passed made or liked and make a point to share memories of stories of the people we loved who are no longer with us and even memories of beloved pets that we've lost. It brings an added dimension of meaning to the holiday for us. I would also say though if your loss is recent sometimes the best thing to do is find a way to take your mind off it a little bit through an activity that gets you out of yourself or for some to join a bereavement group. Sometimes sharing your feelings of loss with others who have experienced similar loss can be very helpful. I send you my sincere wishes for happiness. I can tell they will always be near your heart no matter what.

Answer 2

this question is kind of like when I was a kid and my mother would abused me and tell everyone that I was lying. I promised myself that I would never forget or rearrange in my mind what happened to me. After I became an adult I realized that I couldn't forget what happened even if I wanted to.

It sounds as though your parents meant a lot to you. You don't have to keep anything or do anything special to keep them near to you heart. That will always be a fact. I would advise that you spend more time focusing on the living, because the love that you have for your folks will never diminish not one iota. Build a family of your own so that you may be comforted by hands that can touch you and arms that can hold you.

Answer 3

My parent are both died too and I missed them terribly. I put their photos in my main screen mobile phone so that every time some one rings me it like them ringing me or when I call it is like I am calling them. This way I keep my business straight as my parents always wanted me to. I feel like I am living with my parents all the time and am no longer feel I am missing them.

Answer 4

My mother, who lost both her parents, made little keepsakes of them. For example, she framed their wedding photo above a box that contains my grandmother's wedding dress and both of their wedding rings. She has personal items of theirs in out-of-the-way places that she sees every day, like a cross-stitch sampler that my grandmother did that's hanging on the wall, or my grandfather's silver ashtray on a table in the living room. She says it brings her comfort to have these little things around. It's like small pieces of them that remind her that they're not truly gone, just gone in body. They live on in her heart and memories (which the objects help her recall), and she's confident that they're waiting for her in the afterlife.

Answer 5

You are right ~the most most valuable relation in the world is of parents ~ specialy the mother. They are those who are source of one's coming in this world. We need to write in and/or after each message some positive words about them. We need to advise our teens, 20s, 30s,40s etc to respect, obey and stay with these most valueable personalities and forget these low level issues like gf, bf, dating etc. Dont prepare hell for yourself by disrecpecting these personalities. GOD bless them always.

Answer 6

I lost my dad about six months ago and I still find it difficult to come to terms with. I got over the initial shock but I'm left with a sense of sadness and loss that is difficult to cope with sometimes.

Answer 7

My little one goes into kindergarten this 12 months. When we went for the orientation, the only factor I appreciated approximately the instructor used to be the way in which she had the room hooked up. She had one of a kind stations(coloring, sorting shapes, snack time, and so on.), and the youngsters might rotate. It turns out adore it might be a laugh for the youngsters, and simpler for the instructor to preserve a watch on all of them. The more thing used to be the instructor had a calendar that she passed out to each and every dad or mum. For that month, it practically had the goals the kids might be studying, as good as what used to be for snack, and so on. It quite eased my brain figuring out what my little one might be doing that day. The calendar additionally had "dialogue questions" for each and every week. They had been practically a record of three-five questions approximately what they discovered that week, simply to scan their growth and notice how good the instructor used to be doing.
