I can't visit my deceased mother's grave...any alternatives?
Question:
What else can I do when it's her birthday or mother's day since I can't visit?
Answers:
I light a candle for both my parents passing. This is one thing you can do. There are also memorial places you can find on the Internet. There you can place a nice memorial to your mom, and visit it whenever you feel like it.
I hope this helps.
look at pictures and have other family members over.
Talk about stuff that happened with you and her in the past.
maybe if you have some old hom movies, get those out and watch them.
just think about her a lot.
sorry for your loss.
how about a shrine.light a candle and her pics or just soemthing to rememeber her like a plant or something that reminds u of her that can be used.she will always be in ur heart.good luck
a small shrine with special items that you may have that were special to your mom. you can talk to her as if she was sitting right there.
i found my grandmothers sewing thimble and i put it on sometimes, and it's like she is there with me. she loved to sew and it is something i feel is just between the two of us. she is still in my life and very important to me.
Use balloons...helium ones. Write your love on the balloons and let them go, just like you had to let your mom go. She will know you love her and miss her!
My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Take a disadvantaged child out for a day, or visit ill children, in hospital. Make a photo album/scrapbook and/or shrine, in remembrance, and set aside part of that particular day to reflect.
send a silk lei
I would have a memorial dinner. Invite all her family and friends who were really close to her. Make all her favorite foods (would be even better if she had her own recipes).
Have pictures set up around the house of her, and just talk about her how she lived and how she loved.
And you can include a memorial candle lighting ceremony.
Celebrate her life.
