Music & Memories 
Broadcast for Sunday Nov 24, 2024
Covering the deaths from Nov 24-30, 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. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. 
 
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!
