HOW TO START THE CREATIVE PROCESS 

​

​

​

We understand it may be a difficult process to enter a space of lovingly remembering your loved one. There are so many pain points along the continuum and there are days that feel like dark nights and nights that can't turn into daylight fast enough.

​

There is no rush here. Be gentle. Breathe. Light a candle. Say a prayer.

 

It's never too early and it's never too late to begin the process of creating space  for remembering your loved one. (YLO)
