We could use an object to symbolise the people we have lost. We could use pictures to remind us of people that we have lost. We could use church and prayer to remember those we might have lost. We could use memorials to remember people or to celebrate people in the past.

Ways in which we can remember important people:
– Thinking about them
– Remembering them in prayer
– Remembering people through the things that we used to do with them e.g. getting fish and chips with my Great Grandad
– Looking back at old photos to remember important people and important events.
– Visiting the graves of people we love who died
– Visiting church to pray for those that are no longer with us
– Lighting a candle on the anniversary of their death to help remember them
– Buying a special person’s scent.

– Thinking about the people we love and remembering them helps to keep us motivated
– To thank people for giving their lives for us
–

We could try to re-create or create new memories to have that happy feeling and make happy memories for others to cherish.

What are some meaningful ways you can take time to remember important events, people, or lessons from your own past?
Have 1 minute silence to think and remember
Remembrance service
Have a party to celebrate the events or shed a tear
Learn about my family’s past and the struggles they have endured throughout the decades
Sharing stories about something that has happened in your past
We can remember by gathering all together and telling each other about the good moments that you spent with that person. Remembering good vibes.
You can take pictures.
You can have a meaningful conversation that you will remember so you can think about it every day.
To remember a person you can – look at photos of them, write a poem about them, listen to music they liked, talk about them, remember good times
2 minutes of silence at 11 on the 11th day of the 11th month
Take part in it.
Worshipping it.

Periods of silence, 2 mins silence on 11th. Prayer. Going to different services or events, because there might be different types of service for different things. Being respectful is really important, if you’re not being respectful then it is rude to the memory of people. Funerals.

Think about those people you care about, write about them, reflect upon those people. Generally be kind to people, and pray for them. You could do something to honour them. Memorial prayers, A minute silence, create a special day to remember them, seminar session to discuss or remember. Videos of family. Meditation, this can help us avoid making the same mistakes.

We had a thoughtful reflection on motivation as the mock exams are next week

You can write a prayer for them or keep something that either they liked or had close to them, close to you.
(Thank you Pamela!)

What are some meaningful ways you can take time to remember important events, people, or lessons from your own past? How can this help shape how you live today?:

– learning past mistakes in history to help avoid repeating them.
– ancestry, family connections to their lives.
– minutes silent reflection
– keeping photos to celebrate loved ones
– plant flowers or other plants in a person’s memory

We can remember the loved ones we have lost by:
– visiting a cemetery
– listening to songs that remind us of them
– Poems
– Praying for them
– Thinking and talking about them
– Keep a picture of them in your wallet
– Having a bench in memory of them
– Have a statue in memory of them
– Visiting Bomber Command
– Buy a poppy every year
– Have a minute in silence
– Go to their favourite place
– Photos

– Conversations around the dinner table.
– Look at photos and videos of the event.
– Anniversaries.
– Visit a treasured place or grave.

Remembering these events may help us to be more thankful, live in the moment more, don’t take things for granted.

– we can remember people and significant events through photographs. These can trigger both happiness and sadness

– certain songs can be linked to people and events from the past

– specific objects can be linked to memories eg a memory box from childhood

Remembrance is making sure we remember what those before us did for our future and also making sure we work hard now for our future.

– we can take time to think about others, such as a minutes silence.
– prayer, researching a certain person or event e.g. WW2, have a minutes silence, look at pictures.
– write a diary, take a moments silence, familiar scents.
– doing our research, learning about history so we don’t make the same mistakes as those in the past.
– look at pictures / photographs of our loved ones.
– group worship, photographs, 1 minutes silence, remembrance service, poems, art.
– Use a picture of them or an object of value to them and reflect on their life and know they grew and changed as a person.
– Reflect on your own life, the events and the lessons you’ve learnt from things you’ve experienced and people you have met.

Remembering loved ones who are no longer with us keeps them alive in our hearts and we are grateful for who they are and what they have done for us.

To meaningfully reflect, we can do so when we pray to God, read the Bible every day, respect what we are given and speak to anyone about our day/life. We can take time out of our day to help someone and show gratitude for what we have. We can think of Jesus when we eat bread and drink wine (I queried their drinking of wine). We can follow Jesus’ teachings and go to a quiet place to pray.

This can help us be kind and respectful to those around us and by giving back to those that are in need and suffering (charity). Treat people how you want to be treated. It will teach us to be better people. If you have been horrible to someone, you can redeem yourself and make things better and not repeat the same mistakes.

So we can try to not make those mistakes again.
You can try to help someone else not make your mistakes.
It’s important to know how others lost their lives for our benefit.

Look at photos. Talk to people.
Remembering past mistakes and learning from.
Look back thoughtfully.
Take a moment of reflection.
Quiet thinking time. Reflection.
Reflect in a journal how key events shaped us.
You can see your past mistakes and allow yourself to fix them and become a better human being.
Meditation gives us a tranquil time to remember the past and reflect on our lessons learned.
It can allow us to remember the true important things in our lives and not be stuck worrying about the future.
