Remembering
For children and adults, it’s important to celebrate the lives of our loved ones who have died.
Elijah and Jessie talk about a “celebration of life” for Elijah’s friend, who died from COVID-19. Jessie’s father also passed away a few years ago. Together, they share how they remember their loved ones and how much it helps them to do so. As you watch, think about the ways you celebrate your person’s life and pay tribute to times you shared.
