Rituals are a beautiful and powerful way to honor and remember a loved one who has died. Rituals can give meaning and richness to your life and enhance the memory of another person that has been near and dear to you. During rituals, it is possible to enter into a sacred space that helps with healing. Meaningful rituals can provide reassurance of the continuation of life’s cycles, and can bring purpose to the grieving process while giving peace and hope.
