Memories are Forever Dealing with the grief is a process. One way to cherish memories and pay tribute is to collect memories and share them with friends and family.Memories are Forever is a special website that provides a place to share these memories. The site provides lots of ideas and assistance for preserving your memories of loved ones who have died. The site is rich in content and community driven with a forum where you can ask questions and learn from others. There are also links to a variety of grief support sites and organizations. There's a lot of sensitivity to the emotions and issues people go through when dealing with the death of a loved one. You can even submit a tribute to someone who has died. There's no cost to use the site's resources. One of the reasons Janell Vasquez developed this site is because of her concern that too many people are encouraged to "put the pictures away" and move on with their life, often as little as a year after someone close to them dies. However, memories of loved ones should live on and collecting and sharing written memories, pictures and other mementos is actually a healthy way to both grieve and pay tribute.  When you visit Memories are Forever you will find helpful articles about dealing with bereavement. The site also includes many links to sites that help capture memories or offer grief support. Additionally there is a section about how to help comfort friends. And a special monthly giveaway helps comfort those who've lost a loved one. You can nominate a child who has lost a parent to receive a Bereavement Quilt. Teens or adults who've lost a loved one can be nominated to receive a Canvas Mounted Photograph. Death is a reality we all must face. Preserving memories for those who live on is so important, especially for children and young people who may not have learned about the lives of their grandparents, parents and other relatives. I think Janell Vasquez is doing a great service with Memories are Forever and she has built a very nice site that I'm proud to have previously featured as a Your Life is Your Story "Highlight Site".
