Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we end the month of April, we are constantly reminded how time flies. Time stops for no-one, even when we lose someone we love, to death. Our world stood still, but yet, Father Time keeps moving on. Whether your loss is new or it's been many years, grief pain has no time span. We loved deeply, the pain may have gotten softer, but we can still go back in time when our loved ones Heaven date is upon us. Celebrate their heaven day with lots of memory sharing, storytelling and laughter! Your loved ones would want that!

As we try to navigate through our new normal after losing someone we so deeply loved; it's hard to love life again. We experience and question the why's, emotions of guilt and anger surface. Seeking the natural beauty around us can help soften that pain. Mother Nature has a way of calming our spirit and with the spring weather upon us; seek out those sprouting flowers from the earth, a beautiful sunrise or sunset, or even, my favorite; dance in the rain! Your grief pain will soften, and you may even find yourself smiling, loving life again!

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

With the Easter celebration behind us and the spring weather moving in, our focus changes to anticipation. It's ok to look back on what once was but it's never healthy to linger there long. What was, can never be changed but what's ahead of us has choices. Celebrating our loved ones' heaven day with love and laughter is what they would want us to do. Our loved ones who have died only want the best for us and want us to live life and not waste it on sadness. Get outside and enjoy spring, where life comes alive again!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we celebrate the Easter season we're reminded once again of our rituals and traditions. Remembering and celebrating our loved ones who have gone before us is also traditional. The day our loved one died is as important as their birthday! Easter celebrates the Risen Lord which gives those of us comfort knowing our loved ones who have died are not alone; they are with our Lord. We believe in Jesus and we don't see him so why not believe our loved ones are now in spirit form? Although it may be painful, our loved ones legacy needs to be shared, and their stories need to be told. Celebrate Easter and celebrate your loved one's heaven day! The first Easter taught us that life never ends and love never dies.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Whether your grief pain is a recent loss or many years have gone by. Grief has no timetable nor does it have rules. If you look at your thumbprint, no one else has the same print. As with grief pain, no one else has or knows the depth of your pain. Grief pain is individual and is as meaningful and deep as your love for your loved one is. As you experience your body and mind adjusting to the loss of your loved one, recognize those emotions felt and find a trusted friend to share how you feel. Speaking out loud how we feel is so important to the pain getting softer and living the new normal. There is always sunshine to be found.

Let's talk about tears for a moment. Physically, tears are a release of endorphins to help promote stress relief and restore emotional balance. So healthy for our bodies but yet society puts on such a fuss. When grieving our tears, they represent our love of those we love who have died. Love tears are not only healthy for our well-being but celebrate the love we shared. Yes, tears can be a display of sadness but once again if not for the love we shared and sadness not felt, how could we appreciate the love we shared! Cleanse your body with love tears and celebrate their heaven day!

We are often reminded of how the world moves ahead without us. Some days the waves of grief pain can hit us and our world stops with a gasp, while the next moment our day goes on as planned. Our grief pain is a reminder of the love we shared with another person. They took your love of them with them and you have their love of you in your heart. Keeping their legacy alive through the telling and sharing of the stories and memories is so very important! Celebrate them this week with love tears, laughter and Joy!

We are officially in March and daylight savings is also today. The weather once again reminds us of the "fog" we experience during times of our grief pain. Yes, we really do have to focus on our daily emotions and creating our own sunshine sometimes. Defining the emotion, we are feeling at the moment is half the battle. We can now work with that emotion and take its power away. Realizing we'll always feel the pain of our loved one's loss is real and with that will come some sad days. This is where the focus on the stories, memories and legacy they left behind comes in. Celebrate their heaven day!!

Welcome Minnesota March and its unpredictable weather! The weather can play a huge part in our emotional and spiritual well-being. Being aware of this can assist you in your grief pain. You may have noticed your good days correspond to sunshine and warmth, whereas your bad days, dark, gloomy and cold. We know the pain of our loved ones not being with us anymore, but we also know that that pain will become softer with time; the sadness remains, only less often. We loved! The deeper the love the deeper the pain. Celebrate their heaven day and enjoy lots of memory sharing, love and laughter!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we remember and honor our loved ones this week, let's focus on their story. Who they were, what they accomplished and the legend they left behind. As we celebrate who they are, we take the focus off of our own grief pain. We know we have bad days, but we forget sometimes we have good days too! Coming to grips with the reality that our pain will most definitely get softer with time but will never really go away. We learn to live with it. Our new normal. Let's focus on sharing their stories and your memories of them. By openly sharing your emotions with a trusted friend, that also helps you move forward in your journey. Always in your heart and no one can take that away!

Tomorrow is President's Day and as we walk our journey of loss, many of our presidents experienced the death of family while they were in office. President Teddy Roosevelt and President John F. Kennedy come to mind. President Roosevelt felt the extreme pain of losing his wife and mother, on the same day, Valentine’s Day, hours apart. He also lost two sons too death. President Kennedy lost a child, two days old. When we are grieving the loss of someone close to us we tend to think we're the only one who is experiencing the awful pain of loss. The Presidents, as us, had to move forward in their responsibilities with the pain in their heart. Life does go on and as you celebrate the loved one that you've lost, remember, you are moving forward with them in your heart, always! Sometimes it's comforting to know you're not alone.

Valentine’s Day, the day of love, is right around the corner. Missing someone we love dearly is never easy, but their heaven date is a gentle reminder to celebrate who they were. Grief pain is certainly not something we learned in school like spelling and arithmetic. Rather, the pain is our response to losing someone close to us to death. Their death doesn't have to be final. We know, our heart reminds us of the pain of their loss, but our head sometimes likes to tell us it isn't true. We will go through waves of emotions as we move forward on our journey but always, always, remember your loved ones are always with you in your heart!

In welcoming February, the month symbolizing love, reminds us of the deep love we have for our loved ones who have gone before us. Along with your new normal, you are learning to cope with the loss of living without them. Coping means allowing yourself to feel the pain, focus on self-care and finding ways to keep their memory alive. That's where the sharing of the stories and memories comes in. By sharing those stories and memories you help keep your loved one's legacy alive and well. You have now become the storyteller. Without you sharing those stories and memories, your loved ones die a second death and their legacy dies with them. So, continue to celebrate the love you have for them and the love they have for you. Tell those stories.

As unpredictable as the weather can be, so is our grief pain. One moment it is lightly snowing, and our pain is quiet and gentle. The next moment the wind is raging, and our pain of grief is out of control! We feel broken, raw pain of missing our loved one. As fast as it came it is gone! The sun comes out and even in winter we find beauty. Look for the calm and be gentle with you. Focus on the great memories you have of your loved one and celebrate your love of them and their love of you.

Grief in January may challenge us to look back at the year behind us and assess its ups and downs. Going forward now may mean you are leaving someone behind. This is never true when you lose someone you love deeply! They are and will always be in your heart. There are the three C’s to consider in healing grief pain. Choose, Connect and Communicate. Choosing engaging activities that promote your well-being, connect and surround yourself with those who love you and communicate your feelings. These three C's will help you navigate and move forward with a healthy you and your loved ones will never be forgotten and in your heart always. Healthy mourning and grieving leads to spiritual healing and growth.

By now most New Year's resolutions have been broken or forgotten. January brings with it the January blues, starting with after the holiday blues, shorter days, less sunlight and the feelings of being all alone. To all of this, we add our grief pain of missing our loved one. This is a good time to make your own sunshine and ask yourself, what would my loved one want me to do? Maybe creating a memory album for your loved ones? Visiting a hobby store to find some treasures to make for remembrance? Watching a favorite movie that makes you laugh? Making a point to go out with friends. January weather likes to provide dark and gloomy days. Don’t let that stop you from finding your sunshine!

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Happy New Year! With today being the 4th day of 2026 you may be taking it easy after cramming all the get togethers of the holiday season. We know that with the incoming New Year comes not only change but challenges as well. The pain you've experienced after the death of your loved one reminds you of the changes and the challenges you faced. This is a good time to give yourself credit. Life changes and challenges are a given. We know there is no controlling the changes, but we can take a look at the challenges and see how we can eliminate or soften. It is how we look at those changes and challenges and include them into our lives. With grief you may feel you have no control but oh, yes, you do! Honor your loved one with stories and memories and take your control back!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Christmas is approaching fast and as soon as it is here: it will be gone! There are always highs and lows during the holiday season, with the anticipation of what's ahead and then slam, it's all over! Add your grief pain to this roller coaster and it's no wonder you feel exhausted. To assist you in minimizing this extra anxiety, let's see our options. First, what are you comfortable with doing? Maybe you'd welcome the planning and preparation of Christmas at your home or maybe you'd rather not this year. Saying no to overwhelming events, practicing self-compassion, allowing all your feelings, sadness and joy to be recognized. You may practice the old traditions or create new ones, like sharing stories and memories and creating a memorial. Always have a Plan B in case Plan A falls short. Acknowledging and giving yourself permission to feel sad, anger or even joy is all ok. Grief and Joy can get along and that doesn't' mean you've forgotten your loved ones. It's very healthy to balance some alone time along with social events. It's your grief pain; there are no right or wrong way to grieve.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

With the upcoming Christmas celebration advancing toward us, we are reminded to count our blessings. As we move through our grief pain, it's hard to imagine being thankful and counting our blessings? If we stop for a moment during this busy time of year and count our blessings we realize; we're not alone, we are truly blessed. It's as simple as being thankful for a new day, food on our tables, being able to care for ourselves and most important of all; being surrounded by people who love us! Surprising someone with an act of kindness can always lighten our grief pain; knowing our pain of grief will never go away completely but will get softer. May the love of Christmas over power the pain of grief so you may enjoy the blessings that surround you!

The hustle and bustle of the upcoming Christmas season is upon us. It's natural to not want to take part in it all, when we are missing someone we love. There are ways to keep your loved one at the Christmas celebrations. Stop for a moment and remember what they used to do for Christmas, What foods, decorations and traditions did they love to partake in and do? You can adopt those for your own and honor your loved one during the Christmas holiday. Some folks will volunteer or buy food and gifts for a family in need. In their memory, you have the power to choose! Start making plans.

Thanksgiving is at our grasp challenging us in many realms as we are grieving; spiritual, emotional and physical. After losing someone we loved deeply our perspectives on life changes along with our beliefs. We have to fully focus on and prepare for holiday celebrations and Thanksgiving is the first of three major holidays. Thanksgiving is a gentle reminder to count our blessings. When our grief is so painful, you may find it a challenge to be thankful, but counting your blessings and being thankful may lift you up and shed some sunshine into your world. Remembering that “the deeper the love, the deeper the pain". The pain will soften as time goes on but our humanness never forgets. Enjoy your thanksgiving and time spent with loved ones. Count those blessings and you'll be amazed how the pain softens!

Veterans day has come and gone and has become a powerful reminder to celebrate our Veterans living and deceased. It also signifies the many families who lost a loved one to death. As you move ahead in your personal journey, it helps to know you're not alone, and you are a survivor! Being a survivor and working on your new normal also assigns you the job of storyteller, keeping your loved one’s legacy alive. Without the sharing of the memories and stories; "our loved ones die a second death". Keep that legacy alive and you'll find peace along the way; it feels good too!

When we lose someone close to us our whole world perspective changes. The rhythm of life is constantly colored by the relationships that surround us. We experience emotional heart pain never felt before. This pain can challenge our daily life routines and the very core of who we are. The "greater the love the greater the pain". This is where speaking out loud about your loved one and your emotions can help you move forward to healing. They're worth sharing those memories and stories and keeping their legacy alive; and now with their upcoming heaven anniversary day, that's all the more reason to share those memories and tell those stories.

Broadcast for Sunday Nov 2, 2025
Covering the deaths from Nov 2-8, 2025

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Welcome to daylight savings time! Another change as we walk the road of life. When we stop to think, changes happen all around us all the time and we have no control or say in it. Death brings change as well and losing a loved one to death provides a very unwelcome change, with once again, no control on our part. This is where the term, "new normal" comes in. We are forced to change and life as we knew it will never be the same. Knowing this and understanding the new normal can assist in your pain and healing as you move forward. Change, maybe this is God's sense of humor? Let's learn to accept and celebrate change.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we approach the end of October, Halloween and All Souls day come to mind. Halloween and All Hallowed, and All Souls day honoring those loved ones who have died throughout this last year. Their names are read out loud at your church. Remembering and reflecting on our loved ones is crucial and very healthy in the healing process. Praying and celebrating our loved ones' passing now becomes an expression of love, encouraging a shift in our grief from mourning and sadness to hopefulness. Grief becomes not a final end but a journey to love and remembrance. Celebrate your loved one and remember!

October is also known as a transitional month as we've experienced some gloomy days along with sun filled days; whether our grief pain knows of or doesn't care about the weather. The pain can seem stronger; you may feel sadder or more emotional with the weather. On these gloomy days for your self-care, you'll need to create your own sunshine and be more aware of your feelings. Laughter, a good book or movie or meeting up with a loved one are some ways to create your own sunshine. Be gentle with you.

October often signifies season change, especially as the trees shed their leaves. The trees losing their leaves can mirror your feelings of loss. This may be a good time for you to set up a plan to help you get through the fall and winter changes. Anticipating your self-care is so important in the months ahead. Prioritize your self-care doing those things that were put to the side during and before your loved one’s death. Connect with others and create supportive traditions that would honor your loved one. Taking care of your emotional and physical well-being is crucial during the months ahead. You’re worth it!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

October is here and displaying summer weather. As we remember our loved ones this week let's go back to their heaven date and what was the weather like then? Our grief pain and emotions are as unpredictable as the weather. Sunshine and hot one day, rain and cold the next. Our human makeup follows those ups and downs of the weather. The length of time your loved one is gone never makes a difference, one week or ten years, you loved, and they loved you in return; you miss them no matter how long. The pain has softened but you'll always have that hole in your heart called love. Celebrate their legacy!

Another month is fading away, and we are welcoming October and all its beauty! By now you are either working on a new normal or maintaining it. Our world gets turned upside down when we lose someone dear to our hearts. Expressing our emotions out loud is a very healthy way to grief. Whether you share those emotions with a trusted friend / family or someone who doesn't know you, it helps to make the grief pain a little less painful and you may even find some relief. You all have stories to share as does our loved one. Keep their legacy alive and yes, tears and laughter are healthy for you too!

Tomorrow the 22nd brings the first day of Autumn. Have you ever wanted the world to slow down so you could catch up? When we lose someone we love to death, our world has changed but the rest of the world keeps turning. This becomes a reminder that as we were born, we also will finish the circle with our death. That's where our legacy is so important and you, the survivor, have become the storyteller to keep that legacy alive. Our loved ones were on this earth and left footprints. If we don't tell their stories and share their memories, their footprints start to fade. Celebrate your loved one always and especially now on their anniversary heaven day!

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

We know September signifies a shift; mother nature reminds us of this. As your loved one's anniversary comes closer, you may be triggered by memories of your loved one. Although it may be painful, the memories also provide the reality that you loved, and someone loved you in return. Our sense of loss becomes real again after fading away with time. The phrase, "time heals all wounds" comes to mind and by now you've experienced your grief pain and strong emotions have softened. It is unrealistic to expect the pain to be gone forever. The pain is a reminder of Love shared. keep their legacy alive through sharing those memories and telling those stories!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

September brings another change, the season of Autumn. The weather is already conforming with the cooler temps and mother nature with the migration of birds, to name a few. How have you conformed to your new normal? When we lose someone we love so deeply to death, a part of us goes with them as well and life as we knew it will never be the same; thus, your new normal. Grief pain has no timeline although the pain may soften with time it will never really go away. As you move forward, you’ll learn to integrate your loss into your self-being and find ways to honor the memory of what was lost. Remembering our loved ones are always with us in our heart and in our memories!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

With the end of August brings a normal sadness that Labor day signifies the end of summer; another holiday as we move forward in our grief journey. Back to a routine; your new normal. Coping with the loss of a loved one means we need to understand that the pain of grief is real. By acknowledging your grief pain, you can now move forward to healing. Some ways to help you do this are to allow yourself to feel and know it's ok to be sad, sometimes we may want to talk to others, take breaks from your grief when needed and create new traditions to honor your loved one and most important of all; celebrate life! Your loved one would want you to move forward and live!

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

With August, brings the dog days of summer. Life starts shifting from freestyle with no routines to being back to a routine. In parallel to your grief journey, you are now working on or have been moving ahead with a new normal. After we lose someone we love, the normal that was no longer can be. We have to adjust to life without our loved one, thus the new normal. As the end of summer approaches, so does the new routine. It's not fair to you to believe it will ever be the same. Seasons change and with grief pain, we are forced to change too! Although we fight change it always is for the best. Pretty soon your new normal will be your new routine.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories. 
 
This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.  

As we enter into August, we are reminded that as with our lives coming to an end, summer too is coming to an end; leaving only memories to celebrate and remember. As we move forward after losing a loved one, we are reminded of endings. As birth is our beginning, death becomes the ending. Christian beliefs support life after death now becomes a spiritual form. As the living survivors we will experience tears and sadness along with all the other emotions; but hey, our loved ones are worth it! It's ok to feel and remember how they touched our lives. They are always in our hearts, and we have now become the storyteller's.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Welcome August... Some folks believe their grief pain goes away with time. Actually, it gets softer over time but never really goes away. Our grief pain is as deep as our love was for our loved one. It doesn't matter how much time has come and gone; you still have your memories and emotions of the love you shared and still find yourself remembering; it’s these moments that may force you to stop what you are doing and feel. Your loved one is and will always be cemented in your heart and they are worth the emotions felt and tears shed. Keep their legacy alive by sharing those memories and telling those stories.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Dora Gerads who died August 1, 2004

As we near the end of July we sometimes marvel at how time flies; where did it go? As rain falls, we are reminded of the many tears we've shed and how cleansing we felt after. Mother earth also needs a good cry now and again. Rainy days can be challenging if you love to be outside, so this might be the time to sit back and read that book you've been putting off? Maybe calling up that friend you often think of but don't call. Maybe it's time to go out with friends or connect with family you've haven't seen in a long time. Rainy days don't have to be gloomy; make your rainy day fun and always remember; YOU are in charge of YOUR feelings; not the weather.

With the middle of summer already here and many celebrations still to come, how are you holding up? Self-care is so important when we are grieving the loss of a loved one, making sure you drink plenty of water and take in nourishment. Getting outside and enjoying the serenity of nature and getting exercise is so important along with good sleeping habits. Remember that tears are cleansing so shedding those tears are a healthy way to honor your loved one. Laughter too is very healing and healthy for you too! Don't let this summer slip away without you enjoying some parts of it. Your loved one wouldn't want it any other way!

By now the July 4th holiday is behind you and a somewhat normalcy is back in your life. As you look back to how it all went, try to pick out what worked for you or didn't work for you. Grief is individual and what may work for one may not work for another. Were you able to relax and share or did you spend time in the background. When we talk about what worked for you, we mean, were you surrounded by folks who love and support you? Did you venture out and do activities you weren't able to do before, or did you just stay home? These are the questions to ask yourself as you look back and by doing so, you'll know what works for you. continue to share the memories and tell those stories!

By now your 4th of July celebrations are ongoing. Your grief emotions may have challenged you while you were attending the celebration and when we think of celebrating, our grief pain likes to stop us from having a good time. Grief emotions are unpredictable and as with our emotions, like to think they're in charge. Dealing with your grief starts by recognizing and naming it. For example: "I feel sad today". By saying this out loud you have recognized your feelings and taken the power away. You may not like the word celebration for now, but a good get-together is very healing! Let's take a moment to recognize and honor all those men and women who fought for the freedom we live today; including the freedom to grief!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

The end of June this year is bringing lots of well-needed rain. As rainy days go, there are clouds and dreariness. As with our grief pain we can experience the rainy days and warm sunshine days. Some say the rain is cleansing from above, and clearing out the air, while our tears clear out and detoxify our bodies. Tears are full of love and healthy when allowed to come forward. They remind us of the love we shared with those who have died. There can also be happy tears as we share those memories and stories and are laughing uncontrollably. Don't be scared to dance in the rain to your own music! Enjoy the cleansing from above and don't forget, July 4th is right around the corner and you'll want to spend it, surround yourself with those who love you.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As your summer continues on, you may be asking yourself, or catching yourself having a good time, then stopping for a moment to scold yourself because you've lost someone you love and are supposed to be sad. We then have to ask ourselves what would our loved one be telling us? They would expect us to go to celebrations and take them with you in our heart. Remember your loved one is proud of you for living life. Yes, a part of you died with them but another part of you needs to live for them! Be gentle with you and although it may be a challenge to go to these celebrations... Give yourself credit and celebrate your love of them and their love of you!

Our Flag Day celebration was yesterday and today we celebrate our fathers with Father's Day! Whether your dad is alive and well or has gone to heaven they helped give us life; thus, we honor them, always in our hearts. Today and this week is a good time to share the legacies of our fathers. Dig out the photo albums and pictures and share the stories behind those pictures. Sometimes it can be hard to talk about those who have gone before us, but in doing so, you'll be surprised at how good you'll feel as you laugh and cry through the sharing. Let's also dedicate today's program to our father's!

June is certainly here and as we move into June and all the activities we are anticipating; let's prepare. It's a little scary and sad at times to know your loved one won't be going with you physically to these celebrations. Spiritually you can take your loved one with you knowing they are always in your heart. As a gentle reminder you can take your loved one with you by putting together a small photo album with your loved one’s pictures in it or taking a favorite picture of your loved one in your pocket or purse. When you're at the celebration and become sad, lonely and/or overwhelmed, pull it out to remind you, you're not alone. Your loved one is there with you.

Summer unofficially begins; graduations, weddings and family get-togethers are expected and summer fun is anticipated with all that to look ahead upon; we can anticipate vacations and getaways too! Yes, after losing a special loved one these events may be painful at times. That's why it's even more important this year to get out and surround yourself with those who love you. Know it's ok to be sad and maybe even shed a tear but these too will pass. Your loved one wouldn't want you to miss out on living! Summer, here we come!

The Memorial Day dedication is upon us. This day originated after the Civil War as a way to honor, remember and pay respect to those men and women who died while serving their country. We also use this day to remember and honor our loved ones who have gone before us. This is a day of remembering and honoring their legacy. We, the survivors, have become the storytellers. Our loved ones' legacy will die with them if we don't share and tell their stories. Memorial Day tends to be a somber holiday so share this day of observance with those who love you. Cry and laugh together with lots of hugs!

As is normal with the middle of May, the birds are back with their musical sounds, the grass is growing, fields and gardens are being planted, and life is coming alive everywhere! Sometimes after we've lost someone, we were close to death we might not care or even notice that life is coming alive again. As we move forward on our grief journey, we start to realize that life doesn't stop, and the world keeps turning. We have choices, we can continue to allow our grief pain to be in charge of who we are and what we do or, we can take charge and live again! Our loved ones wouldn't want that grief pain to consume us, they'd want us to find peace and enjoy the life we were blessed with. We know our sadness may come and go but we also know life is worth living! Get out and enjoy nature!!

Happy Mother's Day blessings to all mother's still here with us and those mothers in heaven and in our hearts. When we experience the loss of someone we can't live without and love so deeply, the pain can be so overwhelming; it's hard to describe! Losing our parents instills in us, sometimes, the loss of self. As with losing someone important to us our whole world may shift. Let's focus our energy on all the mothers who provided the base of life and love we feel today! Celebrate Mom with memory sharing, storytelling, eating their favorite food, lighting a candle, and most definitely, stopping to smell the roses!!

May is here and so comes celebrations, graduations, weddings and Memorial Day. Once again as you move ahead in your grief journey you start looking ahead with anticipation and maybe even anxiety. Let's look at grief itself. Grief pain is experienced when the loss of someone close to you dies. Our whole body is impacted by the loss; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Our body has a built-in stress system which becomes activated by our grief pain and can lead to a variety of physical symptoms. Our stress hormones kick in and may lead to other health issues. Knowing is half the battle. Become friends with your grief pain and listen to what your body, mind and spirit are telling you. Take care of you!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Happy Easter! After forty days of anticipation for the Easter celebration; today’s the day! If you celebrate the Easter holiday, you've walked the road with Jesus and his Mother Mary. Maybe your grief pain mirrors theirs. Whether you walked along the road with your loved one as they declined and died or you walked the road as Mother Mary, helplessly watching her son be crucified and dying. The pain of losing someone we love is real and should always be acknowledged. Jesus' resurrection displays to believers that there is life beyond death. Your loved one may physically be gone but their spirit is alive and well! Celebrate your loved ones this Easter by sharing the memories and telling the stories. Keep their legacy alive.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we prepare for our Easter celebration, we also may feel anticipation and anxiety. Whether you're new to your grief pain or your loss has been a while, we always miss those we love. Holidays have a way of reminding us how much we miss our loved ones. Celebrations can be easier on our hearts if we include those we've lost. Remember, if we don't share the memories and stories of our loved ones whom we've lost, they die a second death. Planning ahead emotionally is a healthy way to eliminate the anxiety. Know there may be sadness, but love and laughter will follow. With the recent rain, spring is starting to perk up. "April showers bring May flowers".

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Wow: April is certainly here!! Between mother nature and our grief we would like to think we're in control but we're not! Weather forecasts can change within minutes as our grief pain can too. One day or moment, all is well and the next moment we're overtaken by memories and emotions. How well did you recover from the weather? Our grief journey runs parallel to our normal life before the grief pain. How you reacted to life before the loss of your loved one then, hasn't changed now; it has only become a little more magnified. April brings new life and new beginnings!! Our grief pain provides a new normal and perspective on how we view our life and the world around us. Sharing how you feel with a trusted friend helps you gain control over your emotions and helps you move forward to personal growth. As mother nature's attitude came and went, our grief pain will too.

April begins on Tuesday and as we anticipate its arrival we are preparing for warmer weather as is the natural process. Grief too is a natural process we experience after the loss of a loved one. As we move forward into our April grief, let's focus on finding moments of Joy to help provide a sense of perspective during your grief journey. Focus on the new birth of spring flowers, trees and nature in general. It's also good for our well-being to get out and absorb that sunshine. Other ways of coping may be music, poetry or other forms of art. Be you! Be gentle with you and allow those love tears to flow and laughter to overtake you. This, my friends, is healthy grief!

Whether you're new to your grief pain or have been traveling the road of grief for a while; when it comes to grieving, there is no time limit. It's important to remember how individual grief can be, especially in a family unit. Your relationship with your loved one who has died, determines the pain of your loss. The deeper the love the deeper the pain is often heard and is very true. We have now entered our spring season and with the changing of the seasons we are reminded of how our life changed after losing our loved one. Knowing, as with spring days becoming brighter, your grief pain will too. Continue to share those stories and memories as you move forward on your journey.

With the warmer weather of March our anticipation grows for the migrating birds to come home. The first Robin, Bluebird, Swallows and Killdeer can spark some joy. Moments of Joy bursts are so important as we travel down our road of grief pain. Along with Joy bursts we can also experience Grief bursts which can trigger out of nowhere when we hear a certain song, see something or feel something that takes us back to the memories of our loved one. Celebrate these Joy and Grief bursts! They are a friendly reminder that we loved and were loved! It's also a great time to get out and soak up that sunshine!

Today begins the daylight savings time turn. One just needs to watch the weather to get a good idea of what grieving the loss of a loved one is like. One day sunshine and warmth and the next day, cold, snow and wind! Up and down, happy and sad moments can mimic the weather. With daylight savings time we gain longer days of light and sunshine! We control our feelings and our mood; and with that being said, the weather can control our emotions and mood as well. However, we still should be the one in control! When we're able to express those feelings of how we feel, we can keep the sunshine bright no matter what mother nature says!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

March is here and with it comes spring weather. The weather in March can be unpredictable as with our grief. The ups and downs, good days and bad days along with grief bursts. Grief bursts are those moments when all is well in your day and out of nowhere comes a song, expression or thought of your loved one and you become a puddle. This is normal as we travel forward on our grief journey. For a moment, stop and look at your thumb. As everyone's thumbprint is unique and individual, so is your grief journey. There are no rules as to how to grieve. As long as you're not hurting yourself or other's it's your journey. Let’s enjoy March together!

There are not any other words to express "Where does time go?" and yet we hear these words often. It's now March! As with this phrase we too have wondered, but now after losing someone we loved deeply we know that time goes on. We have also learned that with time we can heal. Another truth we have learned is that time is precious; every moment of time is a gift! Your loved one would want you to find joy in each moment. Are you living each moment and creating special memories or are you allowing your grief to shadow those precious moments? We always have choices.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

President’s Day is tomorrow and as we celebrate our Presidents, let’s not forget that they too are human, and many have experienced loss of loved ones to death. Two of the many, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, come to mind. President Lincoln mourned the losses of his two sons; Edward aged 4 and William aged 11, while he was in office. President Roosevelt's first wife died before he was elected and a son who died at the age of 21. Who we are and the place we fill in the world doesn't stop death, pain or grief. They too felt the stabbing heart pain of loss, were depressed, sad, melancholy and even angry. All the emotions we've felt they too have felt!

In the words of Abraham Lincoln...

"In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all…it comes with bitterest agony…Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot realize that you will ever feel better…and yet this is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have experienced enough to know what I say."

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

The month of February brings Valentine’s Day, the day of Love! When we've lost a loved one to death, they seem to always be on our mind and most definitely in our hearts. With the upcoming holiday of Love, how will you celebrate the love of the one you lost? Some folks don't celebrate this holiday at all and that's ok. Other ideas may be to take hot chocolate and cupcakes out to the cemetery or meet up with family and friends to celebrate the love you shared. Write a love letter to your loved one, light a candle and spend time remembering those memories. Whatever you choose to do is always ok. It's your grief journey! continue to tell those stories and share those memories.

Wow! the January thaw has allowed us warm and sunny days to enjoy outside. When we talk about our grief journey it not only includes the emotions we are feeling it also includes our physical well-being. Being aware of our bodily needs like food, the proper amount of sleep, fresh air and sunshine are so important! These are very important to grieving in a healthy manner. Feeling loved and laughter are also very important to our well-being. As our feelings surface, you'd be surprised as to how you'd feel after taking a walk in nature and soaking up the sunshine. Call a friend and get outside to take advantage of the gifts mother nature is providing. Take Time for YOU!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

Whether our loved one is newly gone or it's been a long time now, we still miss them dearly. It's easy to allow our grief pain to take control over who we are. If you're feeling you have no control, it's time to remember you have a choice about who you're becoming and what you are doing. Ask yourself "do I like who I am right now?" If the answer is no, it's time to change this new normal. We all have gut feelings, and we also know what happens if we don't listen to those gut feelings. Feelings/emotions are a huge part of grieving but should never be in control of who we are! This is where one needs to find a good listening ear and talk it all out. By doing so you have started to take your life back. Speaking out loud, tears and laughter are a healthy way and a great beginning to a new, refreshing you!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

We are over the middle of January which brings us digging a little deeper into the details of grief. Let's talk about the four cycles of grief. The first one, shock/numbness, appears right after the loss of your loved one. You ask yourself, "Did this really happen?", "Are you really gone?". The second one is yearning/searching; missing your loved one and searching for them in all you do. The third one is disorganization/despair; feelings of not being in control, disorganized, along with the loss of hope. Reorganization/recovery is the last one; this is the final cycle where your new normal has begun; and you feel in control, and you're organized and on the road to recovery. We need to always remember our pain of grief gets softer with time, but never really goes away. We have loved and to love deeply we also grieve deeply.

Jerome “Jerry” Thell who died January 9, 2003

With the new year comes New Year's resolutions and by now your resolutions have been forgotten or are over. Grief also provides us resolutions; self-talk. We can allow the pain of grief to overtake us or we can resolve our grief by allowing ourselves to feel those ever present emotions and allowing them to surface through talking about those emotions or through tears. By doing so, allowing, you may feel a sense of relief. If we don't speak out our feelings of grief, those very feelings control us. By speaking out we take the control away and in charge again. With the new year celebrate the love of your loved one and celebrate you!

Happy New Year! A new year brings new beginnings and new memory making. After the holidays we always experience a natural low. Preparing and anticipating the holidays has kept our grief pain at a somewhat standstill and now the grief pain is back full blast! With the new year comes an overwhelming urge to look far ahead. With grief we should back up and take one day at a time. One can certainly fill their yearly calendar but don't allow it to overwhelm you! Always try to celebrate the here and now; the moment and your anxiety will be minimal. Continue to share those memories and tell those stories and hey, it's time to create more memories and stories!

As fast as it came in like a train, the caboose is out of sight! All of your preparing and anticipation is now over. There is a natural high and low that comes with the holidays. You may be feeling alone, sad and all of the emotions, now that the hustle and bustle is over. The dreary weather hasn't helped a lot either. When this happens, it's time for us to create our own sunshine. Watch your favorite movies, listen to your favorite songs, contact family or friends or just be. Our grief doesn't always have to be busy. Quiet times are healthy too! Here comes the New Year, with all the new chapters and the blessings that will unfold. Be gentle with you!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

We are now only days away from our Christmas celebration and normally you may be looking forward to this. This Christmas is without a special someone and it's hard to find joy. With our transition from Autumn to now winter, our grief follows. Seasonal grief is very common during this time of year. Our days have become shorter, nature around us has become dormant and we are missing our loved one. Feelings of hopelessness and depression set in. It’s important to remember that grief is a normal reaction when losing someone we love. It’s also normal for your grief to ebb and flow. This is the time to be gentle with you and know it won't always be this way. Share those memories, tears, laughter, and stories to all! You'll be surprised how good it will feel.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Mid December with January weather! Even mother nature has an attitude. We are fast approaching Christmas and all challenges it brings with it. A few ways to help you get through your Christmas in one piece are to plan for your Christmas celebrations. Last week we talked about anticipating those celebrations but now let's plan for your Christmas. Having a plan can take some of the stress and anxiety away. Be kind and gentle to yourself; you need time; you need time for you, so know that it's ok to say no and not commit to others. It is ok that you don't do what you've normally done every year. Christmas celebrating goes along with how you feel. Allow yourself time to breathe, feel those feelings and cry. Crying those love tears are healthy for you and very cleansing. After a good cry be sure to drink a glass of water to refill. Remembering; Jesus is the reason for the season.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Wow: By now winter has found us and Thanksgiving has become a memory. As our grief journey moves forward we are preparing our hearts and minds for the Christmas season. If your pain of grief is new, please know you don't have to follow the normal traditions. Holiday baking, decorating the tree, wrapping presents can be put off for now. Some find it comforting to continue with those traditions and others need to know it's ok if you skip a year. It's so important that you be you! It's exhausting to pretend and it's very ok to take a break. Do what you feel up to doing. It's enough sometimes just anticipating the upcoming celebrations, so stepping back' is ok and those who love you will understand.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As fast as Thanksgiving came upon us it has now become a memory. After preparing and anticipating the holiday, we now may feel empty and sad. Our grief journey can also bring days of emptiness and sadness. It helps to know this, too, will pass. It's ok to have feelings and sadness but acknowledging those feelings helps take the power away from them. It's when we keep our feelings locked inside that causes our pain, and emotions start to take over our world. By speaking out loud what you’re feeling, you take the power of the emotions away, and you gain control over your world. Remembering also that tears are a healthy way to cleanse your heart and soul. Shedding those tears, those love tears, surrounded by those who love you, shows how you loved and were loved back. Sharing memories, stories and tears are a very safe and healthy way to control those emotions.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Brenda Geise who died November 20, 2011

It's almost here! The Thanksgiving holiday you've been anticipating. Now what? Knowing in advance some of the triggers you might come across will help you prepare for those "grief bursts". Some of those triggers may be the people you'll be around, photo frames in sight and conversations about you and your loved one are just a few to be aware of. Being aware of your personal grief is so important! If you find your caught off guard, stop, take a breath and drink a glass of water to help ground you. Thanksgiving is a time; although it may be painful; to recognize the blessings in your life to be thankful for. We really should never need a special day to remind us of thankfulness because we should be thankful for every new day and the love that always surrounds us. Share those special stories of your loved ones and keep their memory alive. May your Thanksgiving be all you wish it to be!

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As mother nature provides the good days and the bad days; sunshine and gloom, so does your grief. One day you'll feel happy and the next day sad. Sometimes when we're happy we catch ourselves apologizing to our loved one cause we feel guilty not being sad that you're gone. With the winter season ahead, we know that gloomy , dark days will be a challenge. This is where you'll need to set a plan in place. Contact a friend, go out for coffee, to a movie, have friends over, work on your to do list; the list goes on. What's important is knowing it's ok to be sad but also knowing not to allow sadness to take over your life. Life is for living and your loved one would agree! Create your own sunshine!

Upon entering into the first week of November you may be looking ahead to the anticipation of Thanksgiving. A few things to remember as you move ahead on your grief journey is to take care of you! Pay attention to your health; making sure you're getting the right amount of sleep, eating meals and being gentle with you is so important. Depending upon where you are at in your grief; early grief you may want to opt out on the yearly traditions knowing next year you'll be back to a new normal or long-term grief where the traditions continue either way. Being aware of your feelings and what feels good to you is so important! No one can know how you feel unless you share with them. Everyone's grief is unique to the individual. As with our thumbprints, no one has the same print as you. Listen to your inner voice and that will guide you through it all.

Upon entering November we find ourselves looking ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday with anticipation. Our last few days of October can be an example of a common occurrence with your grief, grief bursts. Sleety rain and snow showers occurred without much notice. As with grief bursts, grief bursts are a sudden intense wave of grief that can be triggered by something reminding you of your loved one. It can be a song, a place, a special movie, can be a smell, words or along with pictures; just to name a few. They can also pertain to certain events or holidays. Grief bursts come without any notice and just as fast as it came upon you, it is gone. Grief Bursts are yet another normal physical and emotional occurrence in our lives, just like mother nature with her weather!

There is a crispness in the air. Halloween is approaching and is a reminder of all Hallows Eve, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. All Saints’ Day is dedicated to all saints of the church and All Souls’ Day being dedicated to those who have died. We have been taught to honor our loved ones who have gone before us. We can celebrate and honor them by lighting candles, sharing stories and memories, visiting their graves and passing on their legacies. This is yet another holiday to endure but as you move forward through this holiday you may want to surround yourself with those who love you or spend some quiet moments alone. What would your loved one want you to do?

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we venture towards the end of October, we are experiencing windy days and trees becoming bare without leaves. Another turning point toward the changing of the seasons. What has been your turning point in your grief journey that has alerted you to another change? Maybe the tears come less often, maybe you are finding peaceful moments without pain or maybe even catching yourself enjoying moments of joy and laughter! That new normal has certainly changed after losing your loved one but will continue to change as you move forward toward living and loving again. As you move forward you will always be taking your loved one with you; always in your heart!

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Dean Meyer who died October 18, 2013

Hello October! With October brings holiday anticipations, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Whether you're new to grief or grief has become a comfortable friend, we still try to look ahead to prepare. The fall season prepares us for winter. The shorter days and less sunshine can lead us to feelings of hopelessness and sadness. The changing color of the leaves is a visual reminder of death and loss. Fall is the time of routines, togetherness with family and indoor activities. Make a list of indoor activities you'd like to do once going outside is no longer an option; stocking up on puzzles, books to read, movies to watch or start a memorial project in honor of your loved one. In looking ahead helps us prepare, we still need to take one day at a time to keep our focus and not become overwhelmed. For now; get outside and enjoy the colors!

Now as the true colors of Autumn burst our attention becomes focused on the breathtaking colors! Is this Mother Nature's way of taking us away from the feelings of sadness? We also experience feeling melancholy knowing winter's not far away. What does this have to do with grieving, you may ask? Although our grief journey is full of emotions and pain, it too can bring about some unforeseen Joy! Grieving a loved one takes us down some unforeseen paths, so now I challenge you to also seek some Joy! Whether it be in lending a helping hand, sharing some laughter or as simple as exchanging a smile.

Autumn. Autumn grief is a reminder of yet again, the seasons changing. As with a loss, we are faced with that "new normal" called change. Autumn weather can bring about feelings of bleakness and sadness. The leaves falling from the trees become a visual reminder that changes in the season are upcoming. Accepting the loss of someone you love isn't easy by all means; but by accepting the loss we are allowed to move forward to the change; the “new normal". Our loved ones are always close at hand, in our hearts and on our minds. They too will move forward with us! Celebrate the new season with love in your heart and a skip to your step!

Another holiday has come and gone. There are a few pointers we all should know when it comes to our grief, (grieving the loss of a loved one). Grief is another thing to process in our lives. One can't run away from it. Ignoring your grief only adds to the pain and there will come a day grief will force you to stop and accept. Don't put a time limit on your grief, there are no time limits. Don't compare your pain to others; everyone's grief is their own; very individual. Allow yourself time to feel and remember, don't run away from it. There's more to grief than being sad. You may be feeling relief; they’re no longer in pain, anger; they left too soon; happiness that they were longing to be. Lastly, take care of you! The pain your experiencing will get softer over time but will never really go away.

As with Labor Day officially ending summer, there is a sadness of days gone by. Grief reminds us too, of days gone by; everlasting memories tucked in our heart. There is a social stigma that stops us from sharing those memories. Some believe if we don't talk about our loved one the pain will go away. This is so not true! When we stuff our feelings and not share our loved one's story-- they die a second death. Yes, there are times it will make us sad to share those memories, but it is so healthy and it's up to you to keep their legacy alive! Summer from being over, we can't control but sharing those memories and stories we can! Keep those memories alive and share.

As August comes to a close, we scramble to enjoy summer before it vanishes! As with losing a loved one we look back and wonder why we didn't enjoy them more? There are always regrets after a loss. We have to stop the would dah's and should dah's and remember we did the best we could at the time with the information we were given. Our loved ones would tell us, NO REGRETS! Just lots of love is what we're supposed to remember. Tell those stories and share those memories!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Grief...it is defined by being an emotional response to a loss, and loss is an experience that everyone will encounter throughout their life. As a society, we have a sense that death only comes when we're old. Young folks don't die; just the "old folk". Grief and loss are never talked about nor something one can prepare for; it just happens. Young and old alike can die, whether by a disease or an accident but either way it is an unknown. Know that you are learning about a grief loss, and realize that as with raising a child, there are no set rules. Your grief is solely your individual journey and is meant to feel and be felt by you. "The greater the pain, the greater the love". Celebrate your loved one and feel those emotions.

Clarence Winter who died August 4, 1983

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Whether it's a new loss or many years have gone by, the memories will always come forward. When we're grieving, there is no year limit. As you approach your loved one's anniversary date, you may still start remembering the days leading up to their death, their death and the memories of after their death. Time does heal and the further away from the anniversary day you get, you'll find you have more control over your thoughts and emotions and may look at the loss of your loved one through different eyes. In any event, celebrate them and their heaven day by sharing those stories and memories!

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

We all remember Mr. Rogers and his sweater. After we lose a special loved one our first thoughts are "now what?", "how will I move on?"", "it’s the end". Mr. Roger's talks of the "end of something and the beginning of something else''. For us it's referred to as a "new normal", new chapter per say. As when we've reached other milestones in our life, graduation from grade school, high school or college. Moving out of the home you grew up in, getting married, etc...The death of someone close to us is another milestone. And here's the quote from Mr. Rogers; "Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else. I've felt that many times. My hope for all of us is that "the miles we go before we sleep" will be filled with all the feelings that come from deep caring---delight, sadness, joy, wisdom ---and that in all the ending of our life, we will be able to see the new beginnings.

With August approaching we may be wondering where has the summer gone? County fairs, church bazaars and family gatherings will be filling up your schedules. After losing someone close to you, you may not feel up to crowds or get togethers, but it is so important to try to attend, participate or be an onlooker to help fill your time. Surrounding yourself with those who love you is so very important! Who knows, you may even find yourself enjoying and even laughing! Your grief is as unique as your thumbprint. No one else has the same nor will experience the same emotions in their grief journey. Be gentle with you and take your loved one along in your heart!

With July fading fast we've had amazing summer weather recently! The day is good, life around us is good, and no rain and all is well. Why then do we ask; do we still feel sad and weepy? This should only happen on gloomy days, we think. It is true that gloom without sun days do play on our emotions but when the day is good and all is well, we may need to do some self-talk with ourselves and start with being thankful. Thankful that we were able to see another day. Thankful, for the love we shared with our loved one and most importantly; the love we have yet to share! We have to be the ones to make the call. Go visit with family, friends or maybe help someone out or volunteer? Like magic, your sadness and tears will vanish and you will enjoy your day!!

Mid-summer grief reminds us that life goes on. Our grief experience is unique to each individual. We have all experienced sadness, shock, numbness, confusion, anger and exhaustion. It's so important to not ignore these emotions but rather to allow them to be felt. Healing and moving forward are crucial to allowing those feelings and to not bury them. Burying your emotions can back up into our bodies and start causing other health issues. Be aware of your feelings and become friends with them. You'll feel relief and not miss out on your summer. Be gentle with you; you're worth it!!

With July 4th behind us we become aware of how fast time goes; we're almost in mid-summer. Grief too can sometimes feel like the loss was so far away, then other times it may feel as if it has all just happened. Grief pain has to be experienced and felt in order for healing to occur, and we can move forward. We've heard it said that "time heals all" and this is true. The pain will become softer as time goes on, but the pain will never really go away. "The greater the love the greater the pain". Ask yourself, would my loved one want me to live life always sad or would they want me to live life with joy and carry them in our heart forever? We know they would want us to live! Be gentle with you and allow joy to enter into your heart!

A Silent Tear

Just close your eyes and you will see

All the memories that you have of me

Just sit and relax and you will find

I’m really still there inside your mind

Don’t cry for me now I’m gone

For I am in the land of song

There is no pain, there is no fear

So dry away that silent tear

Don’t think of me in the dark and cold

For here I am, no longer old

I’m in that place that’s filled with love

Known to you all as “up above”

The end of June; lots of rain and beauty all around us! Rain reminds us of tears. Flowing tears as we remember our loved one is very healthy. Tears help to detoxify our bodies and are very cleansing, which you'll notice that after a good cry how tired and relieved you feel. Rain is Mother Nature's way of cleansing the earth's toxins. The above poem by Anonymous tells us those tears you shed are love tears and healthy. Be gentle with you and promote those water droplets from your eyes to flow!!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Mid-June finds us catching our breath. Our life is filled with schedules; where do we fit in our grief time? It may surprise you, but grief is a full body experience. We are led to believe the pain only affects our emotions, when in fact, grief can cause body aches, headaches, certain bodily changes, heart health, moods and many more; it's called the full body experience. How then, can we grieve in a healthy manner? For one, we can express our emotions, give yourself permission to feel those feelings. Second, keep up your social connections. This keeps us in a good balance in realizing when life is hard, you're not alone. Third, take the time daily to be active. Activities as simple as taking a walk can help ease depression, agitation and self-pity. And finally, eat foods that support your healing and get plenty of rest. Be gentle with you and know it is ok for now, as you create your new normal.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Life... Life keeps on going and is one lesson we learn through our pain of grief. June 6, 1944 was the 80th anniversary of D-Day where many lives were lost and never returned to their families. When we look around us, we experience how others are grieving too. We’re heading into the beginning of a summer with lots of events to be a part of. We also see sadness and pain in others who have lost a loved one. There is always someone who has experienced harder grief pain than our own. Be gentle with yourself and know, it will be ok to express and feel your emotions. Celebrate memories and shed those "Love" tears!!

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

The month of June greets us with a lot of celebrations. Life is happening all around us! Graduations, anniversaries, birthdays and lots of events to partake in. Somewhere along the line we were taught that "by keeping busy with no time to think, helps our pain?" It is actually the opposite. We have to lean into the pain and experience it, not run from it. As a society we run from silence and being alone. Silence prompts us to remember, honor and helps us feel the emotions we are supposed to feel; not run from them. Get out and join the celebrations of living! Surround yourself with those who love you and take some quiet time for you. You'll be surprised.

Memorial Day is now upon us and with that it challenges us to Remember! Early in our grief journey we try really hard not to remember because it hurts so bad. As we move forward, remembering our loved ones becomes welcoming and starts to slowly take our pain away. That's where sharing those memories and stories of our loved ones becomes so healthy! Being the survivors, it's up to us to keep our loved ones' memories alive. Enjoy your time with family and friends!!

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Mid-May brought us warmer weather, rain, flowers, and birdsong. As with our grief, May is full of surprises. Mother’s Day is past and Memorial Day is approaching. Memorial Day is a friendly reminder to remember and celebrate our loved ones. Whether by placing flowers on their grave, storytelling or just remembering in your quiet time. Our humanness sometimes thinks we can outrun the pain of loss! Running from the reality that our loved ones have gone to a better place only causes more pain! Please be encouraged to stop, breathe, acknowledge the pain of loss, and allow that pain to walk with you. The pain is guaranteed to become softer and you are free to celebrate your love of them, their love of you and share those memories and stories!

Today is a friendly reminder to remember, honor and celebrate our mother’s, on earth and in heaven! There is no time limit on how long ago your mother or loved one died. What does matter are the memories we hold dear to our heart. Mothers are love; unconditionally and most often were there right beside us and picking us up when we fell along our life journey. Mothers are late nights and early mornings preparing for family meals and celebrations. Today we celebrate you, Mom; and are so blessed to know you're always with us whether on earth or in heaven.

As April showers bring May flowers, nature once again reminds us of Hope in the days ahead. Our grief is no different, looking ahead to better days. As we move forward on our journey it's important to remember we are not leaving your loved one behind. They are right there with us in our heart all the way. It is up to us to keep their memory and legacy alive by the telling of the stories and sharing those precious memories. The much-needed rain is cleansing the earth as tears cleanse our spirit and soul, love tears. The flowing of tears is a reminder of our love and is very healthy to our soul! Don't be ashamed of the tears but rather welcome and celebrate them!!

Our grief can be compared to the weather. One day is bright and sunny and the next day is full of dreary gloom. As we work through those days keep in mind that it's ok to have sad and happy days. Those sad days remind us we loved and were loved and also allow us to feel. Feeling those painful emotions can be very healthy for us and will help us move forward in our grief journey. We know our pain will become softer but will never truly go away. Once again, the pain reminds us of our love for each other and should be celebrated! Keep sharing those stories and memories!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Today let’s talk about that new normal that comes after losing a loved one. Although they are gone, life as we know it has changed. If we were a primary caregiver, we are finding lots of empty hours that used to be filled with spending time with our loved one. You'll find yourself picking up the phone to call your loved one only to hang up and remember "they are no longer there". Maybe you're experiencing being "overwhelmed" with all the paperwork to finalize. Loneliness likes to creep in. Either way it's so important to take the time for you! Catching up with old friends, reading that book you didn't have time for or watching a good movie with popcorn! April is here!!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we head into mid-April, we move forward in anticipation of warmer weather and of summer. Life is happening all around us; seasonal birds are back, frogs are croaking and waking up mother earth to say, "we're back"! Although painful, we are reminded to "wake up and live again"! Our loved ones wouldn't want us to continue on being sad but would rather us to celebrate that they are in a better place and get out of our shell and start living our new normal. Our loved ones are right there with us as we move forward. Start making more memories and be gentle with yourself. Remember, "the greater the love, the greater the pain". Let's celebrate the pain!

Broadcast for Sunday April 7, 2024
Covering the deaths from April 7-13, 2024

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Welcome April! Three months into the new year and as grievers, we are learning time does heal. With April comes a renewing of new life all around us. Spring rains remind us of our tears and how refreshed we feel after a good cry. "Love tears''! This may be a good time for you to reach out to those family and friends who asked you to give them a call anytime. Get out and start that new normal! It's ok to grieve alone but please know; we are not an island. People need people! As you move forward take the love of your loved one with you and start living again!

With today being Palm Sunday, Christians all over the world are preparing their hearts for Easter Sunday and the resurrection. Our hearts are given comfort knowing we'll see our loved one again. The journey Jesus takes throughout this next week is a reminder of good and bad days. Our grief is also a journey of heart and mind. For some the loss of someone close to our heart is painful. For others they may feel relief knowing their loved one is in a better place and no longer struggling with earthly demand. Whatever your beliefs, may you find your journey ahead full of less pain and more peace. Embrace your grief emotions; celebrate and share your loved ones memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Pain of grief when it's a holiday or celebration like today, St. Patrick’s Day can be difficult. The best support we can give each other and ourselves on these many holidays is to mention our loved ones name and just acknowledge them and that "yes" I miss you. Speaking of our loved one can be so healing and offer a better feeling of the holiday in general. An Irish Blessing... "May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand."

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

To quote Alan D. Wolfelt: The experience of grief is only felt when someone of great value, purpose and meaning has been a part of your life. To mourn your loss is required if you are to befriend the love you have granted. To honor your grief is not self-destructive or harmful, it is life-sustaining and life-giving, and it ultimately leads you back to love again. In this way, love is both the cause and the antidote.

It is important that you understand that grief and mourning are not the same thing. Grief is the constellation of thoughts and feelings we have when someone we love dies. We can think of it as the container. It holds our thoughts, feelings and images of our experience when someone we love dies. In other words, grief is the internal meaning given to the experience of loss. Mourning is when we take the grief we have on the inside and express it on the outside of ourselves.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we head into March it's been said that "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb". We can compare our grief to that because there are days that are good and then those bad days! We forget to give ourselves time and space to "feel" whatever emotions become our journey. The relationship we had with our loved one determines the level of pain and emotions we feel. "The greater the love the greater the pain". There are times we anticipate the expressed emotions, and they don't come. Then suddenly out of nowhere when we least expect it, those emotions and feelings come in like a wave. This is where you need to be gentle with yourself and remember it takes time. Not allowing yourself to feel and express those emotions will only prolong your pain. Take time for you!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we're leaving February behind, we are reminded of our own self-care. We are always busy with those around us, but many times forget about us and our own grief pain; why that might be well and good, we can't run from our pain. Since the weather has been permitting us to play outside, that is a good start spending "me time" in nature, trying something new, call a friend or venture out to places you've never been before. Pamper yourself doing those activities you used to love to do or find new ones, or just spending time with yourself. Either way it is all good self-care and it is time for you to be gentle with yourself.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Donny Lenarz who died February 18, 2024

Your grief journey is individual and personal. Everyone experiences grief differently and there is no right or wrong way to grieve unless you're hurting yourself or others. Grief has no rules and no timetable. Always know as you move forward, grief will not be without also moving backwards. It is so important to never forget to be kind to yourself and allow yourself to be patient and forgiving. Don't pass judgement on yourself, and always know you did the best you could have done with the information you had at the time. The pain of grief will get softer with time. Allow the tears, and the laughter and all those feelings you are feeling to flow freely.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As with other holidays, Valentine’s Day will come and go. Whether you are new to your grief or distant; Valentine's Day is here and reminders are everywhere! It may spark anxiety or sadness. You have a few days to plan a meaningful valentines day. Here are a few tips; new rituals or traditions? You can commemorate the memory of your loved one by visiting the grave with cupcakes, writing a letter to your loved one, share favorite stories and memories with those who love you, visit the favorite place you used to go together or just spend the day with yourself, remembering and pondering: giving yourself a self-care day. There is no right or wrong way to express your grief. Allow and Feel.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

February is officially here and has brought sunshine and warm weather! As with our grief we know the days are better now, but we also know there are days ahead of cloudy skies and colder weather; it is MN! This holds true with our grief too. Now that the celebrations are over it seems we've been forgotten. After the fog and numbness lifts, the pain takes over and we begin to feel again. Now we are challenged with February, the month of love! Instead of dreading Valentine's Day, plan to celebrate it with memories, candles, surrounding yourself with those who love you and please know you are not alone. An English proverb says: Where there is love there is pain.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Darlene Kuhl who died January 20, 2013

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As February begins, we are now ready to move forward leaving the holiday hustle behind. We start looking ahead to a new year. Our grief is rejuvenating and slowly transferring into a softer pain. Grief has now become our friend and becoming one, with us. We are understanding that when we befriend the grief pain, grief quits fighting us and the pain becomes softer. You can now walk toward more love, more laughter and start enjoying the world around you. Maybe it's time to help others or to find a place to volunteer and to share of yourself.

Broadcast for Sunday Jan 21, 2024
Covering the deaths from Jan 21-27, 2024

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Mid-January and MN weather as we know it can bring on midwinter blues. This along with your grief pain can try to bury you in your emotions. We're kept busy through the holidays with all the busyness and hustle and bustle and now, emptiness and quiet. We, as an unwritten rule, are not comfortable with silence. Silence can become our friend by just "being" and listening to our hearts. In doing so we realize we have choices. Choices to remain where we are or getting out and trying something new. Being aware of getting plenty of sunshine, healthy eating, exercise, sharing memories, stories and tears with family and friends can all contribute to your not getting caught up in those midwinter blues.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Richard Roering who died January 15, 2019

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

With each day we are gaining longer daylight. As with our grief, each day moves us closer to healing. We have been told that the "greater the love, the greater the pain", but we also know with each new day our pain gets softer. It will never really go away because we loved and were loved in return. Celebrate knowing with each new day you become stronger and the daylight gets longer!

With Christmas celebrations winding down and the new year in our grasp; we are reminded of getting back to our new normal. Routines help us stay focused and help us move forward in our grief pain. If you were not grieving it would be normal to feel depressed after the holidays. Adding your grief pain makes the depression ever more present. As you head into the New Year, remember to Love yourself, be patient with yourself and allow yourself to be surrounded by those who love and care for you. May your New Year be all you wish it to be!!

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Christmas is now upon us! It will be up to us on how to handle it; will we enjoy it or will we ignore and lose out? The Christmas Carols can become prayers for those moments when we simply can't compose our own prayers. For some of us this is not a year to sing along. This may be the year to "sit with the carols" and really listen to their words.

May the Heart of Christmas, the love of Jesus, the joy of grace and the peace of God---be your today and always!

When we talk about grief, we kind of forget about us! We think about everybody else and their pain, but we sometimes forget about us! So here are some helpful hints to help you through the holiday season. -Talk about your grief, -Be tolerant of your physical and emotional limits, --Eliminate unnecessary stress, --Be with supportive, loving, comforting people.--Talk about the person who has died.--Do what is right for you. --Plan ahead for family gatherings.--Embrace your treasure of memories and--Express your faith. These are just some helpful hints to help you get through this holiday season.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

To quote Harold Ivan Smith "During this emotional season, boundaries fall like trees in a forest filled with lumberjacks. Grievers get talked into buying stuff, eating stuff, attending stuff-- and berate themselves for not saying, "No." So, early in the season , take a long look at your calendar. You might even want to block out some dates by writing "booked," followed by your initials. These blocked -out dates are for time alone, seasonal rest and relaxation." What wise words these are, with the holiday, there is already stress and now you're adding the added stress of missing someone you love. These are good words! You can say "no" and it is "ok".

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Bill Buerman who died December 1, 2020

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

December opens up to Christmas planning and celebrations. When we've lost someone we've loved deeply the season can bear times of sadness, pain and emptiness. We find it hard to see those around us feeling the joy while all we feel is pain. This time of year we have to focus on ourselves. Give yourself permission to feel, cry and laugh! Take special moments for you but also surround yourself with those who love you. This may be the time to show love by helping someone else with their Christmas. Helping others always helps the heart pain. This is a season of love! .

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Ben Geise who died November 29, 1969

With Thanksgiving the holidays have begun! For a moment let's think about a snow globe silently sitting on your shelf. All of a sudden someone decides to shake it! Our grief is the snowglobe and when it sits still silently, we feel "ok". When it gets shaken up the snowflakes are our feelings and scatter everywhere! It might have been a memory, it might have been a song you heard, a movie or anything that stops our world and reminds us, we miss you! As the snow settles, we get back to our new normal. Grief Bursts are a healthy reminder that we were loved and we loved in return!

For many people, making peace with a loss takes years. The changes are so gradual that you may be convinced that you will never recover. We don't recover when we want to, we recover when we can. Be patient with yourself, and trust that while there will be many setbacks, you will eventually find a place of acceptance.

You may be desperate to feel better, yet almost afraid to let go of the pain. You do not need to feel guilty for trying to live a normal life again.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

You can pretend that your grief is not there or hide it, but it will stay with you until it has run its course. The feeling of grief may make you impatient or angry. Instead, try to find a place of acceptance. Because you cannot force the process to be over, you need to just acknowledge that that is where your heart is right now.

For many people, making peace with a loss takes years. The changes are so gradual, that you may be convinced that you will never recover. We don't recover when we want to, we recover when we can.

You may be desperate to feel better, yet almost afraid to let go of the pain. You do not need to feel guilty for trying to live a normal life again. The person you lost does not want you to stop living. As you heal, know that it is normal to feel wary about your return to normalcy. It is part of your healing.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

You may miss the "real you", that person you were before you started to grieve. Don't worry...that person is still there. You will return to a more caring, compassionate version of yourself on the other end of the grief process.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

“You can pretend that your grief is not there or hide it, but it will stay with you until it has run its course. The feeling of grief may make you impatient or angry. Instead, try to find a place of acceptance. Because you cannot force the process to be over, you need to just acknowledge that that is where your heart is right now.

This program is dedicated to the memory of:

Virginia Thompson who died January 9, 2017
