INARA Grief Support Candle

Our Bereavement Candles were specifically created to create a glimmer of light in the immense darkness of grief. Infused with only the finest, comforting fragrances of Sandalwood, Sage and Bergamot - we hope that the ritual of candle lighting will lift and hold you gently in the arms of grace. 

In the act of lighting a candle in honour of those who have passed we allow ourselves to express what we cannot always put in words. By lighting a candle for our loved ones, we remember and honour their life and their memory. This candle is more than wax and flame; it’s a symbol of your inner strength and a source of quiet reassurance. May it guide you through the challenging journey of grief with grace. 

RITUAL: We’ve put together a gentle grounding ritual for when it all feels too much to bear.

Place your hands gently over your heart, right there where it aches. Inhale deeply, exhale with the strength of your emotions. Let the release be as profound as you need. Light the candle with care, allowing its flame to dance in the soft glow. Gaze into the flickering light, absorbing the warmth. Inhale the love of the one you’ve lost, exhale the weight of your sorrow.

Slowly bring yourself back to the moment, focusing on feeling the earth beneath you, and gently rub your hands together. When ready, gently blow out the candle and embrace the renewed sense of calm, carrying it with you.

Create a remembrance altar with our candles, trinket plates, photo frames, living gifts, and grounding aromatherapy products.

Grief Gifts. You are held in Grace.

A unique way to express condolences.

At the heart of our business lies a profound personal connection. Our founder's journey through immense grief has been the guiding light behind the creation of our thoughtful range of gifts. She intimately understands the pain of losing loved ones, having endured the heart-wrenching loss of her mother to early onset dementia and her father, who tragically passed away due to heart failure while refusing to seek medical attention after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Having walked through the depths of sorrow, our founder recognised the need for more meaningful and compassionate gifts during times of grieving. Her experiences inspired her to curate a collection of items offering genuine comfort and support, reflecting the heartfelt empathy she wished she had received during her own moments of loss.

With each gift carefully chosen, our founder's vision is to provide solace and understanding to those navigating the complexities of grief. She knows firsthand the importance of grounding practices that help one cherish the love and memories shared with departed loved ones while also finding strength to endure the pain.

Our business is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassion. We stand by your side, offering gifts that carry not only our founder's journey but also the collective warmth of care and understanding from everyone who has contributed to our mission.

In honour of our founder's own experiences, we are here to support you and your loved ones on this challenging path. With each gift you give or receive, you become a part of our shared mission to bring comfort, hope, and solace to those in need. Together, let us find strength, healing, and a deeper appreciation for the love that transcends even the darkest of times.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers' life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day. 

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil's moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant—all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.
