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 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!

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.

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.
