Each month we will highlight a new activity that you can do alone or with your family to remember a person or pet that has died.
This month’s activity:
Memory Meal
Supplies Needed
Paper of various colors
Paper plate or regular plate
Scissors
Tape
Directions:
For this month’s activity, we are creating a memory meal. Many people have memories around food with their loved ones. Let’s create a memory meal of the favorite foods of your loved one.
Start by thinking of some of the favorite foods of your loved one. Next, draw or cut out the foods from your paper. Place the foods on a plate (you may want to tape them in place). Find a place in your home where you can display your plate, maybe it’s the kitchen table or another place you identify. You may want to talk about why you chose the foods you did and the memories associated with them.
*For Pets* You can modify this activity by creating favorite treats they enjoyed.
Remember, all feelings are okay to have, and it is important to find safe outlets for them.
