We don't forget

The Facebook posts by Kim Niles on the Facebook page, Getting Your Breath Back After Life & Grief Knocks It Out of You are amazing. I can see myself recording every one! Anyway, here's yesterday's:

The reality is that we don't forget, move on, and have closure, but rather we honor, we remember, and incorporate our deceased children and siblings into our lives in a new way. In fact, keeping memories of your loved one alive in your mind and heart is an important part of your healing journey. (This is a quote from Harriet Schiff, whom I believe wrote the book The Bereaved Parent).

Oh, how I love this great quote I saw today! I truly believe there is SO much healing in remembering and honoring our deceased loved ones...and also doing things in their honor so we can show how much they will always mean to us. NEVER feel bad for remembering and honoring your loved ones. It's a beautiful way of saying, "I miss you...I love you...you are very important to me!" (This is my favorite part of this whole message): And I believe God allows them to realize how much we love and remember them too!
