A holiday wreath is a traditional part of the holidays in most homes. It is a simple wreath, usually of fresh greens in which you can place four candles. The wreath may be placed on any table or fireplace mantle. As you light each candle this year, you may create a new ritual which will become a lasting tradition. We hope this memorial will help you include your loved one in the celebration.
- As I light these four candles in honor of you, I light one for my grief, one for my courage, one for my memories and one for my love.
- This candle represents my grief. The pain of losing you is intense. It reminds me of the depth of my love for you.
- This candle represents my courage - to confront my sorrow - to comfort others - to change my life.
- This light is your memory - the times we laughed, the times we cried - the times we were angry with each other - the silly things you did, the caring and joy you gave me.
- This light is the light of love. As I enter this holiday season, day by day I cherish the special place in my heart that will always be reserved for you. I thank you for the gift your living brought to me. I love you.
