Open When... for the passing of a loved one

We'd be kidding ourselves if we said that life was all confetti and rainbows. Wouldn't it be nice though? We go through a lot in our lives, much of it we hope is happy and worth celebrating, but some of it is really, really hard. This letter kit design was intended to show you what a box of love can look like for someone who is grieving. Using our Open When Folio Kit, our friend Kendall poured love into these messages to show us just how we can support our family and friends. 

As we approach a year since my own dad passed away, I find myself thinking of him more and more, remembering things about him that I loved and struggling through the memories of his final days. Without a doubt, when people share his picture or tell stories of good times with him, that helps me push through the heartache. 

When you haven't lost someone really dear to you, it's so hard to know what to say or what to do. I have found that it doesn't really matter what those words are, but they are helpful because it shows that you remember and that can mean the world to a broken heart. 

To all of who have lost someone dear to your heart, I am thinking of you. You are not alone.
