My mom passed away 2 months after I had my first child, I have had another since then. My son is 3 and daughter 2 months, how do I let them know her, she was a wonderful person and I want them to know that. How do I keep her memory alive in them?

If you have a family album of your mom's, sit with them and show them the pictures. each picture rells it own story if you do this often enough they will learn about your mom and the family.
My husband passed away when he son was 5 months old, when he got old enough to understand we would all {2 daughters from another marriage} sit down and go over the albums. He enjoyed it very much.

You keep the memory alive through stories and memories that you have. You also show them lots of pictures of her so that they know who your talking about. Even though it will only be a picture as they get older they will be able to connect with her. It's up to you to pass down the memories and stories that concern your mother. If you do it this way she will always be with you all. Take care!!!

When my daughter had her first child, she made a photo album just for her child. It was the size of one of those cloth books for babies. Each page had a photo of someone in the family -- a close-up photo of the face, not a distant photo. Every day or so she would sit down with the child and go through the book naming the people and saying something about them. "This is Grandma Elsa. She was my mommy. She is in heaven now, but she wants you to know that she loves you very very much." As the children get older, tell them stories about their Grandma that you remember. "When I was your age, my mommy, Grandma Elsa, would dance with me in the kitchen. She loved music and loved to dance. Let's dance like Grandma Elsa used to dance." By keeping the memory of your mother alive through stories, she will always be a part of their lives, and they will grow up thinking they have always known her.

Just talk about her. Tell them everything about her. I do that with my kids about their grandmother who was very special to me, and she lives on in them now too. My son says I feel like I know her. I wish she was here to see me do this. So I know that just by talking about the good times you had and special memories, as they come up in your daily life and as thoughts occur to you, just talk about it and what she might say if she were here.
The best way to keep a memory alive is to carry your loved on with you in your heart always. Dont put them away on a shelf somewhere in the back of your mind because it hurts to think of them. Have them with you, and the pain will be bitter sweet perhaps at first but later will fill your life with warmth and comfort.

I have a similar situation with my daughter who was conceived a month after my Nan died so they never met; and my partners Gran who died not long after she was born.
I have photos of them both around the house and we wave hello to them. Also I have put some in her memory box, so when she is older she will have some to keep herself.
We also have some camcorder footage of one of them, so she watches that sometimes. Other members of the family also have photos of them displayed, so she calls them Nan and Gran when she sees them.
We dont do it all the time, enough that we are happy she knows who they are and we take the lead from her for when to talk about them.

make a scrapbook with pictures and write memories that you can share with them. Every year on her birthday pull out the book and go over it with them and talk about her and all her wonderful characteristics. If your children share any of those characteristics of there grandma, point it out to them (ie: dimples or a kind heart). Make a birthday cake in her honor and sing Happy Birthday and say a little prayer for her to watch over your kids to always be in their heart.

keep her spirit alive for others. My daughter replaced into born a 12 months after my sister died and he or she has my sister's call as her center call. I communicate about her considering that my little ones will under no circumstances get to fulfill her. yet they experience that they have got through the thoughts I have advised. Donating and dealing with the charities is a mind-blowing thanks to honour her. i have heard that you'll be able to call a renowned human being after someone. it really is an honourary call, no longer an authentic one yet i idea it replaced right into a eye-catching theory.

Get all the pictures of her together that you have and sit the kids down and make a scrapbook of her with them. Then you'll have something to look back at when you want to tell the kids about her.

what I heard that the child’s memory who her age 2 month.is just to remember what happened through last 14 days.to memorize it they have to see her regularly.your mum passed away .so what you can do is to talk about her a lot and regularly.

Show them pictures and tell them stories. My nanna died when i was really young and i don't remember much of her so my dad always tells stories about what she was like. It sucks that she's not here but it makes me feel better when I hear about her or see her in pictures or videos.
