What do you say to a parent on their deceased child's birthday?
“Just wanted to let you know I'm sending a little more love your way today. If you're up for it, I'd like to take you out for Libby's favorite dinner.” “Happy Birthday to your precious little one. His bright smile is forever in our hearts.”
If you want to find a way to honor your loved one but don't feel up to doing anything big, you could choose an activity to do alone or with one or a few other people. Maybe you'd like to sit alone at their grave or a favorite place for a little while or maybe you'd like to invite a few people along to share memories.
