Here’s what we’d do
Let the family decide whether, when and how they want to gather. A welcome can be a quiet meal or a later visit, with no requirement to share personal history. Keep the plan centered on the family's stated preferences and make changes easy.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Ask what support or company is welcome and follow their guest and timing choices.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Keep the gathering familiar and avoid questions or activities the family has not invited.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Leave as agreed and offer future contact without expecting immediate replies.
Choose your version
A few things to know

- Respect the privacy of every family member and don't share photos or personal stories without permission.
- Confirm the date, meeting point or call link, and spending with everyone before committing.
If the first version doesn't fit
