■ Don't let memorial days end only in sadness
After losing someone important, the feelings for that person continue to live in our hearts.
However, the places where we can share those feelings with others are surprisingly limited.
Every time a memorial day comes around, the face of that person suddenly comes to mind.
Conversations without words exchanged in our hearts.
The time spent remembering someone important, and the time spent sharing those memories, is a very rich experience.
■ What is "Meguribi"?
"Meguribi" is a platform where you can create a page for a deceased loved one and share your thoughts with those who knew them on their memorial day.
Create a page for the deceased and write down your memories with them.
On their memorial day, family, friends, and those who knew them can send their thoughts from their respective places.
Conversations that were only in our hearts expand into gentle connections.
"Don't bear sadness alone."
"Remember the deceased together."
