Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories. 
 
This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.  

As fast as Thanksgiving came upon us it has now become a memory. After preparing and anticipating the holiday, we now may feel empty and sad. Our grief journey can also bring days of emptiness and sadness. It helps to know this, too, will pass. It's ok to have feelings and sadness but acknowledging those feelings helps take the power away from them. It's when we keep our feelings locked inside that causes our pain, and emotions start to take over our world. By speaking out loud what you’re feeling, you take the power of the emotions away, and you gain control over your world. Remembering also that tears are a healthy way to cleanse your heart and soul. Shedding those tears, those love tears, surrounded by those who love you, shows how you loved and were loved back. Sharing memories, stories and tears are a very safe and healthy way to control those emotions.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:
