Naming a Star for Remembrance
Two things in life are beyond our control - when we come to this Earth and when we need to go. While acknowledging and accepting this about ourselves might be possible, we can never be prepared to leave our loved ones behind.
Going through the loss of a loved one is the most significant life challenge we can experience. We all heard "time heals," yet this does little to help in the moment of deep emotional pain. Nothing helps more than the support of those around us, their kind words, a deep hug, and reassurance that we are not alone.
Remember and appreciate the simple, beautiful moments you shared with your loved one. Naming a star in someone's memory can be a meaningful gesture for you. Such a timeless tribute symbolizes their lasting impact and provides a comforting reminder of their presence every time you look at the night sky.
