Music & Memories
 
Broadcast for Sunday April 21, 2024
Covering the deaths from April 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.
 
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!!
