Such a thoughtful, yet practical guide through memorialization. You're so right, @Nancy At Legacy Carvers , it's incredibly hard to write a piece like this in the moment of loss. I just love your capture of different themes. What a terrific touchstone for inspiration.

Folks contemplating memorials might appreciate our upcoming episode of @Jane Hutcheon's series, “Forget-me-not: How We Memorialise.” This week will feature her conversation with @Peter Billingham whose work specializes in the art of memorials. Scheduling this time will defer to Australia and the UK, so the rest of us in the Americas can watch for it on Wednesday 11/20 as a recording. Register at Projectkin.org/events or watch for the recording at Projectkin.org/forget-me-not

I wish I could, but sadly the time zones and my age keep me from staying up that late on a work night. I will definitely be listening to the replay!

Oh, I understand. Yes, the recordings do create a wonderful way to engage long after the live event is over... gosh, just like this! 😉

Yes Nancy, it would be lovely if you were to come to our presentation on Eulogies this week! I’m sure you’d have lots to contribute!

Wow! I never would have thought of eulogizing someone like that, yet in reading this, it seems like the most loving and beautiful way to talk someone home while helping those of us left behind say goodbye.
