Watch first
What this is
Grief doesn't need fixing — it needs honoring. This tool guides you through a gentle ritual of placing precious memories, sensory keepsakes, and loving messages into a symbolic memory box. Based on continuing-bonds research (Klass 1996), maintaining connection to those we've lost supports healthy grieving. The box never locks — you can return to it, add to it, and open it whenever you need to feel close to them again.

- ✦You're grieving someone you've lost and want to honor them
- ✦You're afraid of forgetting precious memories
- ✦You want a gentle ritual to feel connected to them
- ✦You need a safe container for your love and loss
