Four Meaningful Keepsakes to Hon
Taking Time After a Loss
Saying goodbye is never easy, and the days after can feel overwhelming.
Many people begin sorting through belongings quickly, but slowing down helps ensure that meaningful items aren’t missed.
Even small keepsakes can offer comfort later on.
The Value of Handwritten Notes
Letters, cards, and personal handwriting can bring warmth during grief.
These pieces often hold memories of conversations, encouragement, and the unique personality behind each written word.

Photographs and albums help preserve family stories and relationships.
Simple belongings—a favorite scarf, a loved book, a recipe card, or a piece of jewelry—often carry emotional meaning that reflects daily life shared together.
Honoring a Life
Documents like journals, certificates, and family records help keep a loved one’s story alive.
Decisions about what to keep should be made gently. Holding onto a few thoughtful items can offer lasting comfort and connection.
