Have you ever caught yourself doing something and suddenly realised it's something you picked up from someone you love? ❤️
Maybe it's the way you make your tea, a phrase that comes out of your mouth without thinking, a recipe you still make just the way they taught you, or a little family tradition you've carried on over the years.
Sometimes we don't even realise where these things came from until that person is no longer here.
Our loved ones shape us in so many ways. They influence how we see the world, how we care for others, what we believe in and the traditions we pass down to our own children.
And i think there's something very special about that.
Because when we lose someone, we haven't lost everything they gave us. Their influence is woven into our lives, into our memories and into the people we become.
If you're finding grief difficult, perhaps one little thing you could do is notice those pieces of them that are still part of your everyday life. Make their favourite meal. Tell a story about them. Teach someone else a tradition they passed down to you.
You don't have to do anything extraordinary to keep someone's memory alive.
Sometimes, it's the smallest things that help us feel closest to them 💕.
I'd love to know, is there a little habit, tradition or part of your life that reminds you of someone you love?
