Honor significant moments such as memorials, anniversaries,<br />
birthdays, and holidays<br />
Some of us believe that life continues on the other side and that our<br />
<strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong>s are not distant from us but are only different than us. Your<br />
<strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong> continues to remember and share moments with you. They<br />
grow and heal with you. Some cultures believe that it is important <strong>for</strong><br />
soul keeping that we continue to remember and include our <strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong>s<br />
in our activities, especially at <strong>those</strong> special moments of our lives like<br />
weddings, births, and death as welcoming ancestors. You can honor<br />
these places in life by setting out a special place setting <strong>for</strong> them, playing<br />
a special song at an event, ringing a bell or lighting a candle – either<br />
quietly or with your family and <strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong>s as a way of remembering their<br />
<strong>loved</strong> <strong>one</strong>s significance in their lives and continuing the relationship<br />
beyond the illusion of death.<br />
