Briefkaars
ongoing
In interviews with people who lost a loved one, Jorik Hepworth discovered that many feel the need to talk to the person as if she was still there, and actually do so, but feel awkward about it.
Briefkaars is a ritual to encourage people to communicate with the one they lost, by creating a candle out of a message they wrote on waxed paper, and finding peace while watching the candle burn.
