You've cried at weddings, right? At the birth of a baby? And, of course, you've probably cried at funerals, but have you ever stopped to wonder why both happy and sad events, make you so emotional? Even worse, do you often feel like you're the only one? I will impart wisdom gleaned from professional conferences, seminars, books and articles and/or I will blog my personal thoughts. Either way, I hope you check in often, so you know that your tears are never shed in a vacuum!

WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE ON YOUR HEADSTONE?
Have you even thought what you would like your headstone to say about you, other than the date you were born and the date you died? If you want it to reflect your personality, you could copy what some others have already used on theirs: "Gone to Wal-Mart," or from a man who had had 2 wives: "Bury me between {Mary} and {Susan}, but closer to {Susan}! I've already told my kids what I would like my headstone to say, although I keep changing my mind, so who knows what they'll end up with! ha! On a more serious note, here is what a headstone in Ireland says, "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal."

- I am an educator and consultant, in the field of loss and grief. I love educating others, as well as learning from them, about life's little and big, happy and sad losses: marriage, divorce, moving away, losing one's health, aging gracefully.....or not......death of a loved one, a pet, a dream, children growing up and parents having to let go, etc. etc. Hopefully, you get the picture. Let's laugh, cry and learn together!
