This journal is for you and your family to create a living memorial in honor of your loved one who is slipping away from you. It's more than "giving flowers" while an important person lives. This journal allows your loved one to help select, smells and experience the roses with you. They are transitioning into the spiritual light within their minds and hearts. The journal also includes 7 Care Strategies - use them to stay engaged with your loved one to take care of you. I encourage you to collect pictures, stories, start family traditions-symbols to help your loved one remember some of the things that they have forgotten. Simple things may trigger fond memories - colors, smells, touch, music - engage every sense. Review the journal often. Continue to update it because every day is a gift that deserves to be unwrapped with joy and peace, not simply loss and pain. This process stirs important conversations and reinforces human connections. Enjoy the journey together. Be encouraged and live for special moments. It is a privilege to be selected to walk the last journey with a loved one.
