Music & Memories 
Broadcast for Sunday Dec 22, 2024
Covering the deaths from Dec 22-28, 2024 
 
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. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. 
 
We are now only days away from our Christmas celebration and normally you may be looking forward to this. This Christmas is without a special someone and it's hard to find joy. With our transition from Autumn to now winter, our grief follows. Seasonal grief is very common during this time of year. Our days have become shorter, nature around us has become dormant and we are missing our loved one. Feelings of hopelessness and depression set in. It’s important to remember that grief is a normal reaction when losing someone we love. It’s also normal for your grief to ebb and flow. This is the time to be gentle with you and know it won't always be this way. Share those memories, tears, laughter, and stories to all! You'll be surprised how good it will feel.
