Candle ceremony

When a child leaves this life early, the grief can be overwhelming on a level unequaled by any other human tragedy. Regardless of the child’s age, the journey through grief that parents, grandparents, and siblings must endure is a difficult road to travel.

Bringing grieving parents, grandparents, and siblings together by the simple lighting of a candle creates a moment of still and calm as we focus on the flame of the candle gently burning, creating a feeling of inner peace.

The experience of lighting a candle in remembrance of a child is a ritual that many find helpful as they focus on the beauty of a departed child’s spirit.
