]]> I have just posted about recording your grief cycle to an audio file, but it also gave me some other ideas that I wish I had thought of earlier…

  • Why not record memories of your life together for your children to keep on CD.
  • Why not record your last few weeks together if you know they are dying, as a reminder of their voice.
  • Why not tell your lifestory as a memorial to youlight-bulb.jpg
  • Why not tell your loved one’s life story before people forget
  • Why not record a message to put in the coffin

Just some ideas that I thought may help….anyone got any other ways of how audio could help before death or as a memorial after you have lost your spouse?

]]> I got a lovely e-mail from Jeff who pointed me to iMemory which I have have had a look at and it seems a wonderful way of capturing a memorial to someone who has died. I love the website and loved the memorial_book_bed.jpgphrase “Every life is a story waiting to be told”

We are characters in this wonderful story called life, and characters may come and go but the story continues.

]]> I wanted to share this e-mail that I got for my blog posting on Sunday which was about how to turn your life around – and was in honour of the 3rd anniversary of my loss.

“I had every intention of writing something for this project, but
apparently the loss, even though it’s been 29 years, is still very great.
That day also marked the anniversary of my families greatest loss as well.

It was on this very day – 29 years ago, that we said our final goodbyes.

Each year I try to do something to celebrate Tony and his life.  Something
that I hope will become a bit viral in honor of his short life.  I share one
of our very special family traditions.

The Elf that came to our house…

Check out his story it is wonderful and I would like to thank Galyla McCord from MomGadget for sending it to us.
