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.
