Love Lives On<br />

by Amy L. Kitsembel, M.Ed., Bereavement Coordinator<br />

When the holidays come, often times it sharpens<br />

our focus on loved ones who have died and we may<br />

struggle with “celebrating” without them. It is often<br />

stated that the anticipation of the event is often<br />

harder than the actual event.<br />

There are two powerful statements that apply to grief<br />

as we anticipate the holiday season.<br />

The only way to the other side of grief is to go<br />

through it, (not around or under, but through<br />

it). What exactly does that mean? Feel your loss.<br />

Denying our emotions and repressing feelings<br />

does not help us move forward in our healing. Let<br />

your emotions around the loss be felt. Tell stories.<br />

Remember. Laugh. Cry. Celebrate. Mourn. Sing.<br />

Death ends a life not a relationship. Although you<br />

miss your loved one, their memory and connection<br />

to you is as permanent as their love. Some folks still<br />

talk to their loved ones, some buy gifts for a cause<br />

their loved one enjoyed or supported, yet others may<br />

share quiet time together with family and remember<br />

their loved one’s ‘role’ during a family celebration.<br />

Maybe they always<br />

made the best cookies,<br />

or they cut down the<br />

holiday tree, or maybe<br />

they were the family<br />

scrooge. Perhaps there are<br />

Amy L. Kitsembel, M.Ed.,<br />

“family” jokes they would<br />

Bereavement Coordinator<br />

re-tell, or maybe they created<br />

the magic by putting up the<br />

lights, or making sure each person got something<br />

special. These memories are part of our relationship,<br />

and a treasure to our hearts just as our loved one<br />

was. We may redefine their roles during the holiday,<br />

and perhaps their gift to us now is in re-telling their<br />

life story and what it means to us.<br />

Being purposeful to remember and acknowledge our<br />

profound feelings around loss - the remembering all<br />

those little things that make our loved one special to<br />

us - is how and why love lives on.<br />

“Love is stronger than death even though it can’t<br />

stop death from happening, but no matter how hard<br />

death tries it can’t separate people from love. It can’t<br />

take away our memories either. In the end, life is<br />

stronger than death.”- Anonymous<br />

<strong>Holiday</strong> Keepsake<br />

The holidays are a special time to celebrate<br />

the lives of people we love—people who<br />

are living and those who have died.<br />

You are invited to celebrate<br />

the loved ones in your life by<br />

participating in the Tree of Love<br />

tribute program. You may purchase<br />

and personalize a two-inch polished<br />

brass holiday ornament that will be<br />

displayed on the <strong>Aspirus</strong> Comfort Care<br />

and Hospice Services holiday tree in the<br />

lobby of <strong>Aspirus</strong> Wausau Hospital beginning<br />

in November. Your ornament will be mailed to you the<br />

second week of December.<br />

The Tree of Love tribute program is a service<br />

of the bereavement program and is not a<br />

fundraising activity. For more information<br />

contact Amy Kitsembel, Bereavement<br />

Coordinator at 715-847-2703.<br />

Heartwarming memories of those we<br />

hold dear are gifts to cherish each day<br />

of the year… the Tree of Love holiday<br />

tradition is sponsored by <strong>Aspirus</strong> Comfort<br />
