Saying goodbye to a much-loved pet can be surprisingly hard and the emptiness can feel all consuming. As grief therapist Dipti Tait says "“Pet grief can be a profound and unique experience."
For such a humble little flower, forget-me-nots have a big place in our hearts and are often used as a symbol of remembrance. The subject of poems and legends, the forget-me-not’s cult status outweighs its diminutive size and simple beauty.
The eternal renewal of nature awakens something special in all of us. We've curated a few of our favourite ways to sow the seeds of remembrance, recovery and renewal, or to find the perfect nature-inspired bereavement gift.
With loved ones on our minds more than ever at this time of year, everyone has different ways of making sure that those who are no longer with us remain part of our Christmas rituals and traditions.
While it may feel painful to remember a loved one following a bereavement, there is also comfort to be found in the endless possibilities of remembering, the places it can take you, the feelings it can evoke, and with always the tantalising possibility that a time long forgotten will resurface like a delicious gift.
