Just did a Life Certificate (Mohamed Fareez) with a 9 year old. They let me listen to their favorite songs, see favorite places, gifts they were given and will give forward kindness and "not giving up" to his little sibling and friends. They told me their windbreaker was a gift from their parent. They said their parent said to them to not be rude to their g.ma, and to take care of their family and themselves.
We listened to a clip about what their parent appreciated them about the child's acts of "understanding" and "kindness" in their hard times😭. They excitedly chose the special photo for the certificate and a suitable heaven background. We also talked about how we can remember this person.
This little person took the lead in filling up the fields, even with their poor English, added details without any prompting and listened carefully. They suddenly said at the last part: "Will you go home with me? And stay for a little while? My g.ma is still very sad." They drew a large present they want to gift to their parent on their birthday with many many many ❤️❤️for them -With a letter, goodie bag, teddy bear, heart soft toy.
How do you want to re-member people that were special to you?
