- Invite each person to name someone they miss; nobody needs to share aloud.
- Use a photograph or a written name and a battery candle. Keep the arrangement simple.
- Pray for those who have died and for everyone who grieves. Allow silence and feelings without trying to fix them.
- Share a good memory, make a meal they enjoyed, or contact someone who may feel alone.
Choose what is helpful for your household. Children may ask the same questions repeatedly; patient, honest answers are welcome.
