Music & Memories
 
Broadcast for Sunday, Dec 10, 2023
Covering the deaths from Dec 10-16, 2023
 
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.
 
To quote Harold Ivan Smith "During this emotional season, boundaries fall like trees in a forest filled with lumberjacks. Grievers get talked into buying stuff, eating stuff, attending stuff-- and berate themselves for not saying, "No." So, early in the season , take a long look at your calendar. You might even want to block out some dates by writing "booked," followed by your initials. These blocked -out dates are for time alone, seasonal rest and relaxation." What wise words these are, with the holiday, there is already stress and now you're adding the added stress of missing someone you love. These are good words! You can say "no" and it is "ok".
