When a loved one has passed away create a memorial box or display case together. Take the time to pick out a special box (a heavy paper or wooden one, you may even want to decorate). Ask the child or youth about any favourite photos or memorabilia that would help them remember the deceased.
Maybe you’ve kept some old letters or cards from that person. Some people include an article of clothing from that person, a stuffed animal, jewellery, baseball card….
Whenever the child or youth (or adult!) misses their lost loved one they can open their box and take some time remembering them.
