When a Robin Appears, Your Loved One Is Near
A special song.
A signature scent.
A particular turn of phrase…
How many times has a smell, a song, or even a saying recalled your loved one to you as clearly as if they were standing right in front of you?
You know how powerful these sensory memories can be, flooding your heart with love for the person you miss the most in the world.
But they can sting like nettles too. Especially at Christmastime, when you feel the pain of your loved one’s absence like a hole in your heart.
When you lose someone you love so deeply, you find your own special ways of keeping them with you every day.
For many people, it’s the magical little robin who brings such profound comfort, that a visit from a robin friend feels like a message from their loved and lost.
Never Forgotten... Forever Loved. Share a Memory in Our Book of Remembrance.
Robins. Scents. Songs. Sayings. Flowers. Books. Places. Even jokes…
If you’re missing a loved one this Christmas, we invite you to share a memory of them for our Book of Remembrance 2025 by completing the form below.
Every year, hundreds of people leave a tribute to a family member or friend. Each memory is carefully handwritten into our Book of Remembrance, which is proudly displayed in our peaceful Therese Brady Library in our Dublin office.
Using the form below, make a donation, no matter the amount, and share your memory. We’ll handwrite it in our Book of Remembrance 2025, where it will remain always.
Your kind gift will help fund our vital programmes and services in end-of-life and bereavement care, providing support for families during a loved one’s final days and supporting those who are bereaved.
Donate to Irish Hospice Foundation
Please use this form to make you donation. On Step 3, you will be prompted to write a message of the person you’re missing most this Christmas to be hand-written into our Book of Remembrance.
Thank you for giving.
