When someone you've love passes away, do you light a candle for them?

@xixgun Aww....I'm sorry you lost your cat. But what a lovely remembrance.

@Tomorrow I think so. It was planted late (September), so we covered it to protect it over the winter. It was warm a few days ago and I took the cover off. Still lush and green. I think it will survive and do well.

@xixgun It looks like it should!

@BlueVeins Um. No.

@Tomorrow 🏢🔥🏦

@Celt43 That is very sweet.

@Tomorrow it's my way of remembering them and still doing something for them

@Celt43 I understand. My way of honoring their life and paying my respects.

@NiftyWhite I light a candle to simply pay respect and send my thoughts and love with them. I'm not sure they are "present" but it is one way I can find closure and celebrate the joy they brought into my life.

@Tomorrow indeed.i think that’s what the intent was behind my candle too. to observe the moment maybe not in their presence per se but to maybe to make the thought more present. I keep a shelf in my house devoted to my loved one with some treasured items and a photograph. I don’t put the candle there anymore cause it’s enclosed. I just turn the light on in the cabinet.

@Tomorrow some say that the candle is lit for they may find their way to a peaceful place.. and your candle light will help guide them there out from the dark....
Its beautiful

@SweetMae I try to. Once in a while I have missed.

@Tomorrow I do light candles in very old churches that I visit.

@SweetMae That is lovely.

@ForbiddenCrush Thanks. I think so too.

@HeteroDox Nice!

@SW-User Traditions are different everywhere.

@butterflymind1 That's lovely.

@DeWayfarer I do as well.
