Keeping Their Memory Alive
A practical workshop on preserving stories and memories
This Was Them is offering a 3-hour, free to attend workshop for parents and care-givers of bereaved children, funded by the Much Loved Charitable Trust.
Through a series of guided, practical activities we will explore ways of collecting and preserving memories which will support a child’s on-going connection and sense of identity.
This practical, supportive workshop focuses on memory preservation for bereaved children, and will make memory collection feel possible and achievable, even when life is busy and grief feels heavy
It will explore why memories matter, how they can fade or become fragmented over time, and the role you can play in actively gathering, preserving and passing them on.
You’ll be guided through simple, realistic ways to collect memories and create a lasting record that a child can return to at different stages of their life.
The session will offer clear guidance, examples, and time for reflection, without any pressure to share personal experiences.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can act on straight away, and a greater sense of reassurance that important stories won’t be lost with time.
The aim is to help families protect what matters, so children have something solid to hold onto as they grow.
This is not a grief workshop or a therapeutic session. It is about safeguarding memories — thoughtfully, practically, and with care.
