Christmas is often described as a season of joy, togetherness, and celebration. Yet for many, it can also be a time of deep absence—a reminder of someone special who is no longer here. The Rosalind brooch was created to gently bridge that space, offering a way to honour, remember, and remain open to connection during the festive season.
A Visible Act of Love
The Rosalind brooch is not memorial jewellery, which is usually private and deeply personal. Nor is it the same as the orange brolly brooch from The Grief Trust, which beautifully signals “I’m grieving.” Instead, the Rosalind brooch is something unique: a visible act of love. It says, “I carry them with me. I honour them. I’m open to remembering.”
A Bridge Between Silence and Conversation
Wearing the brooch can be a gentle prompt to talk about your loved one with others. It acts as a bridge—between private remembrance and public honouring, between silence and gentle conversation. For some, it may be a way to invite others to ask, “Tell me about them,” opening space for stories, memories, and shared connection.
Why It Matters at Christmas
The festive season can magnify loss. Empty chairs at the table, traditions that feel incomplete, and the ache of absence can make Christmas feel very different. The Rosalind brooch offers a way to acknowledge that difference without hiding it. It allows you to carry your loved one into the season visibly, honouring them as part of your celebrations.
A Tender Gift
The Rosalind brooch is offered free of charge, as a gift of remembrance. It can be worn by you or given to someone you know who is grieving. At Christmas, when gifts are exchanged as tokens of love, the brooch becomes more than an ornament—it is a symbol of enduring connection.
Keeping Memory Visible
To wear the Rosalind brooch is to keep memory visible in the world around you. It is a quiet invitation to remembrance, a way to say: “They are gone, but they are not forgotten.” During Christmas, when love and memory intertwine, the brooch can help you honour openly, connect gently, and carry your loved one with you into the season.
