Remember the special person you have lost

Many young people express their concerns about forgetting the person who has died. Grief encounter encourages ways of remembering that special person.

Following the tsunami, people lit lanterns on the beach to commemorate those that had died. We thought we’d follow their example and set this up for you to do here and now in memory of your special person who died.
