FALL ELETTER-WHAT DO YOU THINK? FEEDBACK REQUEST

[MartyT]

From Nan & Gary Zastrow,  Founders of Wings--A Grief Education Ministry:

 

Yes, fall is creeping up on us and its time to put organization back in our lives and start thinking about making new memories with the holidays fast approaching. On that subject, I'm asking for feedback for our What do you think column.  Here is the topic. Would love to hear from you:

 

MAKING MEMORIES LAST…..What do you think?

After a loved one dies, we find many personal belongings that create positive memories. These become treasures to us. Items might include jewelry, clothing, parts from a hobby or sport etc.  Some of us find positive ways to repurpose an item and use it daily or for special occasions or holidays. Each time we use it we feel a loving connection to the person who died. Memories like these last for however long we want them to last.

Example of a repurposed item:  Our son Chad loved fishing. We used the fishing line in his tackle box to string the ornaments on our Christmas tree. After all these years, it still works.  

How have you turned your loved one’s belonging into a purposeful item or treasured keepsake?  

Please submit your ideas with your name/city/state.  Only your first name, city, and state will be published.

I haven't done anything to make memories last.
