A few more months and the world will celebrate the second year of holidays in the state of a pandemic. Within two years, a lot has changed, and many people lost their lives. Their loved ones are still not over with their grief. They were putting the cremated ashes of their loved ones in a keepsake to remember them for the rest of their lives.
The way of living is far from what we the world used to have during pre-pandemic years. It was merry, and everyone was excited to celebrate holidays with their loved ones. Many people are rushing to buy presents for their families and buy some goodies as a treat for kids doing carolling or kids they saw on the streets during holiday seasons.
Everyone is ecstatic when they hear the word holidays. It is like a symphony that they have been waiting to hear. Every street is busy and crowded. Everywhere you go, you hear a lot of noise. A beautiful noise that you want to keep listening to until you reach your house. But in a blink of an eye, things have changed. People around the globe are experiencing silent Christmas, thanksgiving, trick or treat, and many more holidays.
Last year where the world went silent. A deafening silence that we never had in our entire life. A year full of breakdowns and reflections on oneself. And a year of tears. Some of our loved ones lost their lives at the vast speed of a pandemic that no one has ever expected. The only noise that we can hear from the streets during holidays are government announcements and warnings.

Even if the world is slowly opening its doors to people around the globe, there are still dismay and regrets from people who lost their loved ones. Regrets that they could have spent the time wisely with their beloved family members and did not much of it to other things that do not matter. And the what-ifs of how things could have been if they are still alive this year. It could have been a meaningful holiday for the family to celebrate because everyone was around.
We can wonder all the days of our lives of all the what-ifs that we have in mind, but nothing beats when they can spend all the holidays with us as we used to years ago. The pandemic took our chance to spend time with our family and gave us some anxiety about everything around us. It took the lives of many people we love and left us with sorrow and lonely days.
And in that thought, even though things are not what they used to be a few years ago. And we are still in wonder about how our holiday would be for this year, we can think of things to make our holidays merry.
● Give virtual comfort to everyone we know who lost their loved ones during the pandemic.
The best gift we can give to anyone who is still grieving their loss is comfort. Even though we can go to places that were restricted due to the high risk of Covid cases, we still need to be careful. We can send virtual comfort to our friends and other relatives during this time of the year. We may not see them in person, but we can call, video call or facetime them to ask what they are doing.
We can also host a virtual holiday party with everyone. In that way, we can still feel their presence even if they are far from us. We need to maximize the use of technology for a good cause. Spending time with our family during the holiday season is an essential thing in the world right now. And we can always find a way to be with them, even if it is online.
● Sending a keepsake gift for the cremated ashes of your loved ones to your relatives.
Aside from calling them and giving them virtual comfort, we can also send them keepsake jewellery with the ashes of our loved ones in it. Thus, it is one of the most beautiful gifts we can give to our family this time. It is something that they would love.
Nothing can compare with a keepsake made from the ashes of your loved ones or a memento that has their ashes in it. We are in an era where we can't predict what will happen the next day—getting a keepsake for the people we love and care the most means so much to them. It means that you are thinking about them and you want to make this year's holiday special.
In this year's holiday, we
hope to still feel the essence of Christmas amidst the pandemic. It is the way
we can celebrate this year's holiday without tears of regret and pain. It can
be our way to find the bridge to let go of our unuttered sorrows from the past.
May it allow us to enjoy life and fill it with happiness and joy like we used
to have before all these things happened.
