Eclipse is a service for bereaved children

We are a service based in Staffordshire that seeks to support chidren and young people, aged 5-18 years old, through the grieving process

  Sometimes it seems appropriate to mark special days

and remember those who have died.

Maybe the anniversary of their death or their birthday.

Here are some ideas to help you remember them on these days...

Tie a card or a special message to a balloon and let it float away in the sky

Take a special card to their grave or where their ashes were buried/scattered

Have their favourite meal for dinner

Light a candle for them

Blow some bubbles and send them with your love on the wind

Listen to their favourite music

Ask other people for their memories of your loved one and compile their 'life story'

Write them a letter or a poem or a song

Whatever you decide to do, please remember to look after yourself and your loved ones on this day.  It will undoubtedly be very emotional for you all, and you may feel exhausted afterwards. Take time to do something for you, as well as remembering your loved ones.
