Death is the end of many things, but it is not the end of love. Life-long grieving stakes a claim on lasting love–a “journey of the heart”. Instead of a discipline that is only about letting go, Crafting Memory is my spiritual practice of mourning built on the assumption that lives of the living continue to intertwine with the dead.

I took some time this weekend where we remember All Saints and Souls to complete a little project I’ve been working on to share this Crafting Memory practice with others.

This video shares a few of my thoughts about the process of connecting art and grieving and highlights some of the cards from my collection. If anything you see inspires you to get out the scissors and glue and get to work on your own project, then please feel free to use any of the ideas you find here as you get started.
