A memorial star is a real star from the HYG catalog, fixed by the date, time and place you said goodbye. It does not replace anything, and it does not try to console. It is simply somewhere constant — the sky of that moment, which you can return to in 3D or find again overhead.
Many parents keep this entirely to themselves — and that is how it comes: the memorial space and the star page stay private unless you share them. Light a candle there on the days that matter; show siblings and grandparents, or no one at all. Your call, always.
Say their child’s name. Offer the star quietly if it fits, and let them take it or set it aside — and please don’t ask them to display it. Pressure is the one thing this gift must never carry.
Their name is still their name.
We will keep it written on a real star.
