Losing someone special from our lives is tragic. Unfortunately even when we begin to come to terms with that loss there are still reminders of them. Birthdays, for example.
The birthday of a loved one we've lost can be a terribly hard time. Thinking of past celebrations and parties, imagining what we would be doing now if they were still with us, the reaction they had to gifts (both good and bad!) they received.
But because it's hard doesn't mean we should shy away from celebrating the birthday of a deceased. It can helps us to remember them, and keep them in our hearts.
Celebrating or commemorating their lives is important to the families and loved ones of those gone. Which is why many of us love to say ‘happy birthday in heaven' to the important people we miss having in our lives.
