My girlfriend's husband, her soulmate, passed away this summer...we never let a visit go by that we don't remember him in a loving way!
Recently, McInnis & Holloway Funeral Homes hosted A Living Tribute at their Memorial Forest, Tree Program. It was a cold, rainy day and all that could be seen spreading out before you was a sea of brightly coloured umbrellas. These represented all the families missing a loved one.
Reflecting on this for a couple of weeks now, my friend realized that this was not "closure" for her, yet. But she decided that she could choose the type of tree that will be her husband in this living forest...a Fir tree, because a Fir tree is always green, alive...all four seasons!
She, like another friend of mine, can only turn one-page-at-a-time...grief is a slow and loving process.
