Beloved ones remembered under the Tree of Sorrow
The idea behind the Tree of Remembrance in Hellisgerði is for all those who have lost a loved one to be able to sit beneath the tree and remember those who have passed away, at this bittersweet time of year that Christmas is for the bereaved. The Bereavement Tree is also intended to draw attention to the plight of bereaved people at this time of year. The Bereavement Tree in Hellisgerði will be lit on Sunday, 26th November.

The Christmas-decorated Hellisgerði has become a fixture in many people's Christmas celebrations, and this beautiful garden envelops us as we walk through it. It was therefore an easy decision where the Bereavement Centre's Tree of Remembrance would be located. The idea behind the Bereavement Tree is that all those who have lost a loved one can sit under the tree and remember those who have passed away, at this bittersweet time that Christmas is for bereaved people. The Bereavement Tree is also intended to draw attention to the plight of those who are grieving at this time of year. With the arrival of the tree, a cosy and beautiful place can be offered in the heart of Hafnarfjörður, providing light and warmth for the bereaved. Sometimes, due to distance, we are unable to visit the graves of our loved ones, so it is good to have more local places to spend time with ourselves and our memories of them. Hellisgerði is almost magical, and the garden is well-suited to holding all the memories that come to mind as we walk around. You could say that the Tree of Sorrow thrives on memories and flourishes with them over time.
