Music & Memories

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday, July 26, 2026 Covering the deaths from July 26-Aug 1, 2026 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 new "Normal". We hear that a lot after the death of someone we love. What exactly does that mean? We know it means change. Life will never be the same, but did you know it also means not only the loss of your loved one but also losing some of the connections to yourself and the world around you. We also grieve for the loss of self; "a part of me died with them", we grieve the loss of our identity, rethinking your role as husband/wife, son/daughter, etc. Physical health and emotional security become something to be aware of. The new "Normal" covers all these new challenges. When you celebrate your loved one's Heaven date this week, give yourself credit for also managing that new "Normal".  This program is dedicated to: Lori Bauer Sprenger who died July 19, 2012 Dennis “Denny” Schuneman who died July 19, 2015 Samuel “Sam” Schuneman who died July 24, 2021 Jeanette “Jeanie” Hoppe who died July 26, 2025 Jane Bailey who died July 26, 2024 Mary T.

Celebrating our loved ones' Heaven day is so important to our heart and soul, along with keeping our loved one's legacy alive! As with Footprints in the Sand, if we don't recognize and honor our loved ones' footprints here on earth; we would question, were they alive and did they live?

Celebration is important; celebrate your loved one's heaven day with love, storytelling, laughter and tears!

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday, July 5, 2026 Covering the deaths from July 5-11, 2026 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. July 4th!! Celebrating 250 years of Life, Liberty and Freedom! Our Christian base founded our great country and as a Christian we believe our loved ones are in a better place. Grief loss is painful. Losing someone close to us to death is a real experience that we are never prepared for. Celebrating our loved ones' heaven day is crucial for our healing. With the July 4th celebration it's important to recognize that two of our Presidents; President Thomas Jefferson who was 83 and John Adams who was 90 both died on July 4, 1826; 50 years after the writing of the Declaration of Independence. They died within five hours of each other. Imagine for a moment the grief pain felt there! As we've learned, life goes on and our pain does get softer along the way. Grief spares no one. Celebrate your loved ones’ anniversary day along with the 4th of July celebrating by sharing those stories and memories!

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday, June 28, 2026 Covering the deaths from June 28 - July 4, 2026 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 with all the seasons, summer brings on summer triggers like attending baseball games, grilling out, picnics and family reunions to name a few. You're reminded that one person will not be attending this year or you've adjusted to your loved one not being present, but their memory reminds you of how they loved the summer events. It's important to recognize how you feel and honor those feelings. It's very normal to feel what you are feeling. The deeper the love, the deeper the pain. As you move forward on your journey you'll learn to experience Joy right alongside the sadness of loss.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday, June 14, 2026 Covering the deaths from June 14-20, 2026 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. How is your summer going so far? When we lose someone, we deeply loved to death, we sometimes forget we have choices of who we are and how to feel. Sadness of your loss is a normal reaction along with anger, guilt and the should haves. Yes, it's true, we can allow all those emotions to take control over us and our lives, but that is never healthy. Why waste a day allowing those emotions to control you when you could be enjoying your day? When an emotion wants to take you over, identify the emotion, feel it and speak it out loud to take its power away. Now you can go on with your day still missing them but being in control of your emotions. After all, your loved ones wouldn't want you to be sad but would want you to find peace and enjoy your day.

Broadcast for Sunday, May 31, 2026 Covering the deaths from May 31 - June 6, 2026 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. Summer is here with its sunshine, singing birds, nature greening up and don't forget; lawn mowing. Routines. We all have routines we follow until we lose someone we love to death. Our routine has now been disrupted. That's where the "new normal" begins. What we considered our routine has now been changed. Our world as we knew it no longer exists. There has become an emptiness where our loved one once was included. Now we may find more time on our hands, thus creating that "new normal". As we venture forward there is a very important thing to never forget. Our loved one will always be in our heart, and no one can take that away. Be gentle with you as you begin your "new normal".
