Treasures

What can someone do to make a difference as you begin to heal through grief? You probably have plenty of food, volumes of cards and a house full of flowers, but what kind of gift would genuinely touch your heart?                                                    

When you’ve loved and lost, memories are priceless treasures. What if there are stories about your loved one 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 cherished memory or picture you’ve never seen before?

As your treasures arrive, put them together in a scrapbook, memory box or journal. You’ll be reminded of the difference your loved one made in people’s lives.

Who might have a priceless story to share?
