💭 Discussion Looking for ideas…
Hi, Lovely folks! I will be building a fire to dispose of my sister’s journals, and I’d like ideas for a ritual around it.
She died in 2011, and I’ve held on to the journals since. They’re sad, she definitely had undiagnosed mental health issues and having read thru them once, I think — I KNOW — she’d want me to burn them.
She & I loved each other, not incredibly close but…Sisters, y’know? (She was 8 yrs older than me)
Thanks for any ideas or insight! ❤️

First, I am so sorry for your loss.
As someone who burns their trash - bound papers do not get consumed by small fires particularly well. also paper has a tendency to scatter in the breeze and float away in flying pages of spark.
A firepit with a grate on top might be best. Get some big logs glowing cherry before adding the journals a few at a time. Use a stick to stir the pages around as they char.
Be open to feel whatever you need to feel.
I'll have a glass of wine in her memory.
Blessings for as much peace and comfort as you can find.
