Have you ever received a beautiful memento like this wood engraved cutting board?
Legacy projects are a great way to celebrate the loved one that has died. It’s a way to mourn together, bathed in value and love. The holidays are always challenging for those who are grieving. Giving and honoring is a fantastic way to connect with those you love. It’s part of my job to help create, direct, and facilitate legacy projects. I am honored to share some of these great ideas with you.
My father in law had this made as a gift for the first Christmas after my mother in law died.
He found significant meaning in giving such a sentimental gift. My mother in law’s recipes in her handwriting will be preserved and shared for years to come. When my husband is really missing his mother, I can make the carrot cake for him as a comfort to him. This cutting board is proudly on display over our pantry door. It is a gift that we truly cherish. We have local companies here in Medicine Hat that can do these, and it’s something that I can put together for you as well.
If you are a local company that can provide this service, please feel free to comment below. 🙂
The Grief in Dealing with Chonic Pain
Are you feeling like you are going crazy dealing with chronic pain or illness? You are not mad; you are probably dealing with grief.
Dealing with Chronic pain can change you into someone you don’t recognize. Sure, you can get cranky, snarky, pessimistic, and short of temper. These reactions are expected and understandable when dealing with something that’s continuously physically uncomfortable, but there can be a darker side to this condition. There is no societal knowledge or acceptance when dealing with the grief of chronic pain. Researchers have found that chronic pain can lead to unrealized grief with the added disorder of anxiety.
