The Memories
By: Jennifer Burchill Published on: 13/08/2024I try to focus on reminders of loved ones I miss rather than that ache in the heart and the longing. I recall some of the things that remind me of them and it brings me some comfort. Sometimes these reminders pop up out of the blue and it’s most often smells or sounds that are familiar, somewhere from the back of my mind. Lately I’ve been trying to be more aware when these appear– hoping that actively remembering will prevent me from losing these memories altogether, and keep them close and comforting.
In Memoriam
By: Jennifer Burchill Published on: 27/06/2024This Memorial Day is not the same-- there is no parade, nor marching band, the city will not gather in the cemetery together for a ceremony of honor and remembrance, and there will be fewer hugs and family gatherings. But that doesn’t mean we cannot reflect and honor.
