Broadcast for Sunday, April 12, 2026
Covering the deaths from April 12-18, 2026

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

With the Easter celebration behind us and the spring weather moving in, our focus changes to anticipation. It's ok to look back on what once was but it's never healthy to linger there long. What was, can never be changed but what's ahead of us has choices. Celebrating our loved ones' heaven day with love and laughter is what they would want us to do. Our loved ones who have died only want the best for us and want us to live life and not waste it on sadness. Get outside and enjoy spring, where life comes alive again!

Grief can sometimes feel disjointed - a cry here, a burst of anger there; a deep sadness today, a crush of guilt tomorrow. In this article, Dr. Alan Wolfelt, renowned author and grief counselor, urges us to trust the process of grief. As you surrender to the mystery, your experience of love and grief will create a changed you. A you who has not only survived but who has learned to thrive again in a new form and in a new way.

In our lives, we all participate in rituals. To learn more about the healing aspects of rituals, take a few moments to read this article.

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

As we celebrate the Easter season we're reminded once again of our rituals and traditions. Remembering and celebrating our loved ones who have gone before us is also traditional. The day our loved one died is as important as their birthday! Easter celebrates the Risen Lord which gives those of us comfort knowing our loved ones who have died are not alone; they are with our Lord. We believe in Jesus and we don't see him so why not believe our loved ones are now in spirit form? Although it may be painful, our loved ones legacy needs to be shared, and their stories need to be told. Celebrate Easter and celebrate your loved one's heaven day! The first Easter taught us that life never ends and love never dies.

Music & Memories
Broadcast for Sunday, March 29, 2026
Covering the deaths from March 29 – April 4, 2026

Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one.

Whether your grief pain is a recent loss or many years have gone by. Grief has no timetable nor does it have rules. If you look at your thumbprint, no one else has the same print. As with grief pain, no one else has or knows the depth of your pain. Grief pain is individual and is as meaningful and deep as your love for your loved one is. As you experience your body and mind adjusting to the loss of your loved one, recognize those emotions felt and find a trusted friend to share how you feel. Speaking out loud how we feel is so important to the pain getting softer and living the new normal. There is always sunshine to be found.
