Gifts to keep them close
Find the one that feels like them
“When a cardinal appears in your yard, it’s a visitor from heaven.”
A belief passed down for generations
So many of us have a cardinal story. It's the flash of red at the window on a hard morning, or the one that landed on the fence the week after the funeral. For generations, families have treated that visit as a sign that the people they love are still watching over them.
Grief doesn’t take the holidays off
Some days you just need to feel them near
The tree goes up and their ornament is still in the box. There's a recipe card in their handwriting. The holidays carry a lot of love and a lot of missing, and both deserve room.
The Porcelain Red Cardinal is something to hold onto: white and red floral porcelain beads, a vibrant red cardinal, and a small well of holy water from Lourdes, France, inside it.
