How can I keep the memory of a loved one alive?

When we lose someone, it’s true that a part of us goes with them. We can be left feeling lost, alone, angry, frustrated, resentful, and hopeless to name but a few emotions.

My biggest concern when losing my Mum whilst in my 30s was, how do I know I’ll always remember her? How can I possibly preserve every memory of her as I age myself? How do I know my young son will remember her for who she really was and not the shell of a person that she became?

All of these emotions haunted me quite regularly, I thought relentlessly about how I could possibly bottle these memories and keep them alive forever.

Should I build a memory box? Do I keep half of her wardrobe? Do I buy her perfume every Christmas? Nothing seemed enough.

I began scrapbooking with photos and birthday card inserts but still something was missing. I trawled the internet day in and day out looking for anything to give me hope of keeping her memory alive, not just in a book but in person every day. I didn’t want my mum to become a memory, I didn’t want her to become a taboo subject that nobody ever wanted to speak of. I didn’t want the memory of her illness to steal her identity and so I had to do something to change it.

It was on this day that ‘If Heaven had a postcode' was born. My unique and sentimental ‘More than a memorial book’. The only book you’ll ever need to keep the memory of a loved one alive year after year,

Share it with the family; fill it with photos; write letters to the person they were and the person they always will be. Plant memorial cards, and grow flowers in their memory; share with them important parts of your day and keep them with you always.
