Music & Memories
Broadcast for Sunday May 18, 2025
Covering the deaths from May 18-24, 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. 
 
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!!
