Valentine’s Day was big for us, so this time of year I’m really feeling the loss.
One ritual that I’ve done is #8, writing him a letter, but rather than burning it, or burying it, I’ve put it in a helium balloon and then let go and watched it float away. It’s quite beautiful, actually. It sort of feels like, if he’s really somewhere above, watching over things down here, that maybe the balloon will float high enough to reach him.

We lost her father , my husband in May and I am looking for ways to remember him at Christmas but to also not make it all about the loss of our loved one. Our journey has been rough and unlike most others as we have discovered terrible things since his passing which have left us unable to grieve as a normal family. Of course this has changed the man we thought we knew and who although we are angry and feel betrayed and confused we still love. He was a good Dad and loved her so much and I want to spend a short time allowing her and I to focus on him on Christmas morning . Sharing our love and sadness before going on to having a day out just to two of us and creating new traditions. Any Ideas?

Hey Ashley, yes that is some folks opinions. I have asked a lot of elders of the First Nations about this and many have spoken that it is not for them, and they welcome the burning of sage. I guess it depends on your teachers and elders in your community.
