]]> I was reading an article called Navigating Life After Death over at The Age. It made me think how we block out memories when often it is best to keep those memories. For instance with children removing memories could hurt more than keeping the memory alive. In one example  claspedhands.JPG

“One little girl wouldn’t have it. “Where’s that old chair that sat there? That’s where I used to sit on my daddy’s knee!” Her mother traced the buyer through the thrift shop and put it under the Christmas tree. “

In this example, the chair was connected to happy memories. Removing the chair, removed that happiness.

I wonder what I have removed that might be my “chair”…….have you removed a memory that you need to find to bring you comfort in your grief?
