We all want to celebrate a part of our life. Some do this while we are still alive, some after we are no longer living and some do it both. In some cultures you are not to speak about the dead, in others you are to fully live the deceased life in full effect. In my family, we do a little of both. There are some people who do not want to ever speak of the deceased and there are those we always want to talk about their loved ones whom have gone to celebrate their life in a better place. I think that it really depends on the person, how the feel about death and how they are doing in their own life is how this challenge will be answered. I spoke with my grandmother the other day, she is 89, she told me that in order for her to remember her son, whom passed away in a tragic car accident over 15 years ago, she looks at his picture every day and says good morning to him. She tells me that some may find this strange but she likes to think that although he is gone to heaven, he will never be forgotten. If no one else wants to remember him, it was her son, and she will continue to speak to him everyday:)
What are some of the things that you do to celebrate life in your family?
