Funeral Fare
Mars Bar Rice Krispie Squares

These home-made dessert treats are a natural addition to tea or coffee time. They’re easy to make and are sure to be a welcome ‘in-sympathy’ offering.

Ingredients:
4 Mars Bars – regular size
1/2 cup butter
2 cups Rice Krispies
1 cup of chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet)

Directions:
Melt butter and Mars Bars in sauce pan, on medium-low heat. Cut bars into smaller pieces to melt quicker, stirring occasionally. When smooth consistency in mixture is reached, remove from heat. Stir in Rice Krispies. Add mixture to greased 8” square pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over mixture and broil in oven for 1 to 2 minutes, until chips begin to melt. Spread chocolate to form even layer over Krispies. Let cool and then place in fridge for 30 to 60 minutes for chocolate to harden and mixture to set. Cut into squares and ready to serve.

Grief and Mixed Emotions:
Letting Go of Pain versus Wanting to Remember and Pay Tribute

Grief is often referred to as the price for having loved. Losing a beloved creates a void that needs to be addressed. There is longing for the past, distressing in the present and yearning for a future free of the pain being experienced.

Feelings of guilt surface which involve thoughts which are based totally on emotions. No longer grieving somehow equates with dishonoring the deceased. Many grievers have shared: “I don’t want to move on, as I’m afraid they will be forgotten.”

A shift from these ongoing thoughts can be achieved by creating personal rituals that pay honour to the deceased. Devote time each day to an activity that in some way helps to bring back memories: have a tea or coffee in the special place or at a significant time, play music that reminds you of them, prepare their favorite recipe once a week, or talk about missing them to someone who cares about you and the relationship you shared with your beloved.

Public and community expressions of remembrance have always been a source of providing comfort. Having a funeral or memorial service for the deceased where they can be remembered and honored is an opportunity to pay tribute and helps to avoid the possibility of future guilt. “If I only…” Sometimes establishing a one-time or annual fundraiser or event in their memory is a way to recognize their memory.

Allowing oneself to acknowledge and accept the loss of someone close creates a pivotal point in time where a line between the past and the promise of a new future can be drawn. Acceptance doesn’t mean forgetting. Letting-go does not mean forgetting. Moving on with a new life does not mean forgetting. A beloved may have died but love for them still remains.
