There are unlimited choices when it comes to Ways to Honour a partner, a family member, a friend even someone you admired but never meet. It is about finding ways to celebrate lives that have left an imprint on our hearts.
Here are a few suggestions to assist your thinking:
- Let someone else have the chance they missed…pass on their dream
- Ask friends to find a favourite photo, write about why it was memorable, funny or special and send the story to their partner / family
- Sponsor something in their name
- Donate to their favourite cause annually
- Cook theirr favourite dish and celebrate the meal with friends
- Write a poem, speech or song about them
- Hold another wake / dinner and tell their favourite jokes, talk about their quirky ways and how they made you feel special
- Light a candle at home or a special place of remembrance
- Learn something from their personal strength, what you admired
- Plant flowers or a tree and enjoy watching it grow
- Be their voice for their favourite cause…sign a petition, attend the event for raising awareness
- Donate blood or become an organ donor
