What could somebody do to make a difference when you’ve lost someone you love? In the early days a warm meal, card or flowers can speak volumes; but down the road, is there a gift that could genuinely touch your heart?
When you’ve loved and lost, memories are priceless treasures.
What if a friend or family member knows a story about your loved one that you’ve never heard? The next time a trusted friend wants to help, ask them to write a favorite memory and send it to you via mail or email. Can you imagine going to your computer or mailbox and discovering a funny story or photo you’ve never seen before?
As your treasures arrive, consider keeping them together in a scrapbook, memory box or journal. These stories will be a sweet reminder of the impact your loved one’s life made.
Is there someone who might have a story to share with you? Would you consider reaching out to them today?
What other ideas do you have for keeping memories fresh?
