Today, cantonrep.com announced a wonderful event happening at Aultman Hospital in Caton, Ohio, as part of its grief service program – a jewelry-making workshop.
Though lately we’ve been thinking a lot about beading parties as a way to have fun with your friends, let’s not forget that beading can also serve as therapy as we remember the lives of loved ones who have passed on. At Aultman Hospital, participants can bead bracelets to memorialize the deceased. What better way to celebrate a life than to symbolize that life with beads, then wear the beads as we carry on?
Have you ever used beading to cope with a loss in your life? Last month, Naomi wrote about making a necklace to memorialize her dog, Ginger. I think it’s such a sweet sentiment every time she wears it to the office.
