Remember Me Offers Hope and Inspiration during the Holiday Season
Embracing the Christmas Holidays While Honoring Loss
The Christmas holidays are a time of joy, warmth, and togetherness. The twinkling lights, the aroma of baked goods, and the sound of laughter fill our homes and hearts. It’s a season that brings people closer, celebrating love and creating lasting memories. However, for many, the holidays can also be a poignant reminder of those we have lost. Amidst the festive cheer, there can be moments of deep reflection and sorrow, as we remember those who are no longer with us.
Navigating the holidays after losing a loved one can be challenging. The traditions and celebrations that once brought joy may now feel incomplete. It’s essential to acknowledge these feelings and find ways to honor the memories of those we miss. Here are a few heartfelt quotes to offer comfort and solace during this time:
“Those we love never truly leave us. There are things that death cannot touch.” – Jack Thorne
- This quote reminds us that the essence of our loved ones lives on in our hearts and memories.
“What is lovely never dies, but passes into other loveliness.” – Thomas Bailey Aldrich
- Reflecting on the enduring beauty of our loved ones’ spirits can bring peace and a sense of continuity.
“Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.” – Author Unknown
- Finding comfort in cherished memories can help ease the pain and bring a sense of closeness.
“Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life.” – Anne Roiphe
- Embracing the process of grief as a journey towards healing can be a powerful way to honor the past while moving forward.
“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” – Author Unknown
- Treasuring the memories of our loved ones can keep their spirit alive during the holidays.
As we gather with family and friends this Christmas, let’s create space for both joy and remembrance. Lighting a candle, sharing stories, or dedicating a moment of silence can be meaningful ways to honor those we miss. By acknowledging our grief and cherishing our memories, we can find a balance that allows us to celebrate the present while holding the past close to our hearts.
May this holiday season bring you comfort, peace, and the warmth of cherished memories.

Memorial Gift Ideas Go Beyond Flowers
Memorial Gift Ideas Go Beyond Flowers
Flowers have been a beautiful and traditional sympathy gift idea and a common funeral gift for many years. In the past, this has been an affordable and convenient way to express your sympathy message. However, with the change in our economy, and the convenience of the internet, sympathy gift ideas go far beyond flowers.
RememberMeGiftBoutique.com seeks to comfort those grieving, due to the loss of a loved one or the loss of a pet, by offering gifts that will last far beyond the life of flowers. We have carefully and thoughtfully collected a wide variety of sympathy gift ideas that are sure to touch the hearts of those grieving and are often more affordable than sympathy flowers.
Rather than a floral arrangement, consider sending a Memory Tree to be planted in the loved one’s backyard. Adding a personal sympathy message to accompany the Memory Tree creates a beautiful sentiment that those grieving will certainly appreciate. After the Memory Tree is planted, many expand upon this idea by creating a memorial garden by adding personalized memorial garden stones, memorial benches or even personalized wind chimes. We truly value and recommend this idea as a comforting and lasting gift.
Flowers are not typically sent after the loss of a pet. Many struggle when trying to decide how to express their sympathy message to those who are dealing with grief due to this type of loss. One of the most popular sympathy gift ideas is our Pet Memorial Jewelry. Our customers have contacted us to let us know how much this gift meant to them and aided in the healing process. Our customer’s healing and comments are truly valued.
Many of our customers are not searching for funeral gifts, but for a personal memorial item that brings them comfort during their own grieving process. We carry many gifts, with this type of customer in mind, such as our Memorial Teddy Bears. This is our Favorite Sympathy Gifts idea. Creating a teddy bear from a lost loved one’s pajamas, Sunday dress, or favorite sweatshirt, is one of the most comforting ideas we can offer.
We hope to provide our customers with more than just sympathy gift ideas. RememberMeGiftBoutique.com also desires to be a valuable resource during the healing process with our daily inspiration and encouragement. We will continue to develop this important aspect of our business, simply because we care.

A Sympathy Message for Christmas
Often a sympathy message or sympathy poem will mean more to a grieving family member than anything else. While we’d like to acknowledge their grief, we should to do it in a simple and respectful manner.
I found this beautiful poem that would be perfect for those who will be grieving during Christmas this year; perhaps this is their first Christmas without their loved one. I can imagine typing up this poem, framing it very simply and inexpensively, wrapping it with beautiful paper, and putting an ornament on it with a bow. What a simple and beautiful way to recognize and ease their pain, while also paying tribute to their lost loved one.
My First Christmas in Heaven – Words of Sympathy
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can’t compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear.
And be glad I’m spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do
For I can’t count the blessing or love he has for each of you
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
