Music & Memories
Broadcast for Sunday Mar 30, 2025
Covering the deaths from Mar 30-Apr 5, 2025 
   
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. 
 
April begins on Tuesday and as we anticipate its arrival we are preparing for warmer weather as is the natural process. Grief too is a natural process we experience after the loss of a loved one. As we move forward into our April grief, let's focus on finding moments of Joy to help provide a sense of perspective during your grief journey. Focus on the new birth of spring flowers, trees and nature in general. It's also good for our well-being to get out and absorb that sunshine. Other ways of coping may be music, poetry or other forms of art. Be you! Be gentle with you and allow those love tears to flow and laughter to overtake you. This, my friends, is healthy grief!
