Our AFTER Story:
The coroner called late at night. A night I will never forget. My brother Daniel, age 34, had killed himself. The following week was the worst week of my life. It’s a dark place I do not like visiting. And yet, every year it comes back, demanding acknowledgment. I realized that this horrible week was not just about missing my brother, it was also about my new life without him and the pain that comes with contemplating our mortality.
I made this candle as a release of that acknowledgment. So long as I see the illuminating flame of this candle during the darkest day of my year—I know I will be okay.
Light this candle to lighten up the darkness.

I just purchased the Deathiversary candle for one of my dearest friends that lost her sister to a car accident two years ago. As time passes it gets a little bit easier but you know it still hurts those closest to the deceased. I wanted to send my friend a little something to let her know that I missed her sister too and recognize she will always have a piece of her heart missing. This candle was perfect, its more than just a candle in a box. There was a booklet included that had such wonderful messages, there was a note handwritten on the inside and helped bring light to her day. Now she has a little more support when she misses her sister. Thanks for having this candle After!
