Everyone eagerly awaits Thanksgiving and the festivities associated with it. It’s a day you spend in the company of loved ones. You look forward to expressing gratitude for all your blessings in life. But can one forget the loved ones who are no more with us on this occasion? You can relive the happy times you spent with them by reviving their memories in different ways.

1. Food, Flavors, And Memories

Festive dinners are planned in advance to fill the dinner table with the dishes that look appetizing and where flavors abound. Both the flavors and colorful dishes can be associated with the departed loved ones and specially cooked the way they cooked or liked them. Cherish the person’s memories as you relish the food with your family and friends.

2. Lighting The Memory

Beautifully lighted places create an environment that evokes fond memories. Get candles of different colors, sizes, and designs made in honor of your departed loved one. Remember him or her in the ambiance of the enchanting candlelight.

3. Laying A Memory Wreath

Flowers are a sign of love. Therefore dedicating an attractive memory wreath to your loved one is a quiet but beautiful way to express love. You can hang it on your entrance door or lay it at the gravestone. You can also say your memorial prayers while laying or fixing it.

4. Memorial Gifts

Thanksgiving can be used to enhance the joy of family members. You can get gifts prepared in the memory of the loved one and present them to close friends of the deceased.

5. Build A Memory Chain
