Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Dear Mary, Renee, Nelly, Sandy, etc, Strong memories of Harry keep coming up. I have just let them come. Renee, writing them down briefly is a great idea! I'll start a Diary of memories of Harry, and also fill it with short letters to him. Right now I see no reason to burn them. Both run the gamut from sheer joy and intense pleasure, to regret, pain and anger. I'm so glad we have the courage to open our hearts in this group.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 What a way to honor a spouse who has passed on!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yes Rhoda. It does take courage to open up to the group for every one to read, and no body can call us weak, especially you my lady, the feelings you have now, where there all the time but you, me and every body else do not recognised them, most of the time.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Rhoda. No, burning them is not necessary. It's just some people's belief that the smoke takes the prayers to heaven--a nice touch for some people, not for all. But--your book will be for YOU and Harry. A way to enjoy your memories again. And writing things down help bring up even more memories. So it's an ongoing project of love. What a nice idea!
