This is the perfect gift when someone you love is grieving and you just don’t want to give them flowers that die. There’s something so soothing about lighting a candle, especially one with this lovely aroma. Lighting a candle for someone you lost is very healing, and a great way to remember the moments with them. There’s nothing else out there like this, and I’m so happy this exists! - Alicia B
AFTER lends a hand when a tragedy fractures a life in two - the life before and the life after.
