Description
This poem from Henry Van Dyke, "Gone from my Sight", is just as meaningful today as it was when it was written in the mid 19th century. It is a great option to send to someone deep in grief.
Are you struggling with what to write in your RememberGram? One top recommendation is to write about something specific that you remember or miss about the person who has passed away. Sharing a story or memory is particularly meaningful.
i.e. "I will always remember the one night that he...." or "Every time I hear this specific song I think of him because one time we went to this concert together and..."
Another option is to write about a character trait that you remember most about that person.
i.e. "Edie's sense of humor was something I will never forget. She could always make everyone laugh"
If you didn't know the person well and are just trying to provide caring and support, here are some other ideas.
"I hope you know that it is ok to not be okay."
"I know you still miss them every day, I just wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten them either."
"I know this day is difficult."
"I know some of the hardest days are after people have stopped checking in. Let's get together for a walk soon; I would be happy to listen if you want to talk about it, or just quietly spend some time together."
