My Mom in-law recently passed away. Everyone grieves in their own way, on their own terms. How do you deal with loss? Is there anything you can do for yourself?
A "memory plant" may be something you want to consider, especially if you have young children as it gives them something tangible, a connection to the person they lost. It also offers them the opportunity to help create a special piece, a special place, thus a way to express their grief.
This weekend we are going to choose one of Ma's favourite blossoming plants and put it in a special place in our garden along with a plaque, a notation, or a poem for her.... for us. In Memory.
