I don't know if this will help but when my grandma died 12 years ago on Dec 5th we started a ceremony that we have continued yearly At midnight on Christmas eve we all gather to light a candle for each of our loved ones that has passed before us.Thye used to have luminary kits but can't find those anymore so we just use those gift bags that you fold over we put cat litter in or if you are lucky enough to have sand you can use sand use long burning candles(the ones called emergency candles the white ones) work reallly well we light a candle for each person and say something about them anyone can say what they want to the person and light the candle. we then leave them outside to burn all night I always check the next morn to see wh's is stil, burning(I use different scenes on bags for each person) It always makes us cry but it is healing at the same time and allows us a moment of silence for those we miss and love. last eyar was the hardest one we ever had to do but we made it through

sounds like a effective idea---lost my mom Dec.10 of very last 12 months. in reality virtually each and every human being that used to percentage Thankgiving and yuletide with my husband and youthful ones has handed on in very previous few years. and it replaced into an excellent amassing. the holidays are starting to be demanding for all persons. thanks for sharing your custom. we favor to attempt something like that.
