On Saturday I spoke to the sales team of SMET Monuments in St. Stephen, N.B.
They understand that its a very emotional time for their clients and help them design their monuments to reflect the lives of their loved ones. I enjoyed sharing my story because they understand the grief journey and deal with it every day.
When I did our monument I put our wedding date and picture on it and had it inscripted "Charlie Brown and Snoopy Forever". In the back it has the Serenity Prayer and I believe the monument will share our story with future generations. I found it healing to design the monument with memories of our life together. I now understand why couples design it together as part of their estate planning.
