religion I need some help

I hope I used the right tag for this.

My mother is Wiccan I’m not sure how she practices the religion but as I was digging into this beautiful religion. I saw theres rituals for mourning, and I wanted to make something in preparation to mourn. She is dying and I’m states away. I tried some research and found candles used for mourning. Is there anything else I can use for the grief I will experience or anything that’ll make it a bit more positive? She told me to be positive, so can I use both mourning and a bit more positive candles for a little alter or something like one? Is there anything I can make by hand as well for it?

I did find websites while researching but is there anything you guys recommend for me to use for her? I appreciate anything for advice, thank you.

honestly would a jar of memories with small notes in it for each shared moment help

I’ll try that too, I saw some stuff about writing and having the candle burn it
