Quick answer
Ongoing grief and bereavement support groups sometimes use a custom wristband as a quiet, shared symbol of connection and care among members meeting regularly together.
Support groups often build a sense of belonging over many sessions, and a simple wristband can be a quiet, wearable reminder of that shared connection.
