Memorials For Loved Ones

I often get asked how to honor the memory of their deceased loved one especially on the anniversary of a death.  With permission I want to share a story from Heartache To Healing subscriber Mary A. Phillips because not only did I find it a touching memorial to her beloved husband’s memory but a unique way in which she chose to honor his birthday with an event of meaning and purpose.

“Yesterday I had a Pooh de Mayo charity event to celebrate with my husband’s friends. His birthday was May 5th Cinco de Mayo and his nickname was Pooh hence the name of the event. I had everyone bring a Pooh Bear or other bear to get in. Then we had a BBQ dinner for all. Collected 150 bears and had a good day. It had been 9 months since my husband’s death. Beautiful day and a good healing knowing that this is going to a local charity that grants wishes for children in Texas with life threatening diseases. It is like Make a Wish but a local one.

Just thought I would share this since I found it surprisingly a good day.” ~ Mary A. Phillips

Thank You Mary for sharing!
