Living With Loss
helping people who hurt
You’ve Arrived at the Gift ShopC’mon in. No hard sales here. I’ve come up with a variety of products that I truly believe are helpful for people in grief. That includes: music, books, movies (DVDs), exercise equipment (minimal), medical equipment to increase ability to function, and a few other odds and ends. These are sold through my affiliate advertisers. You don’t buy these from me; you link to reputable stores and make any purchases from them. I’m proud to announce the ability to sell “Comfort Quilts” – something I wish I could have purchased in 1991 after my son died. These handmade quilts (tied with double yarn) are made from the jeans of the person who died. You can see sample quilts, but the sky is the limit with extras. You can have a name or saying embroidered -- almost anything you want. Your quilt will be designed and crafted just for you. The quilts can help soothe the overwhelming sense of missing our loved one's touch.. You can wrap yourself in the comfort of the quilt, use it on your bed, hang it on the wall … use it however you want. Each quilt takes about one full week to make, and will be made with love and quality materials. Prices will vary, depending on size and the number of specialty items you want. We're also offering hand-made diamond willow walking sticks for people who would prefer not to use canes, but need a little support for getting around. These attractive walking sticks are made from Minnesota's finest wood and vary in size, cost, and the number of diamonds in each stick. The wood will be finished. You can order gemstones added, or feathers -- whatever you want that's legal and possible to get -- we'll do. More description and detail about pricing is available by the pictures (prices are approximate but you'll be given an absolute cost when you order your quilt. Quality of workmanship is guaranteed. I've also included some journals to help you document your journey. And the Gift Shop is where you’ll make a donation for workshops when that’s requested. I don’t want to overwhelm anyone with selling. You’ve paid a high-enough price. But I firmly believe the items you find here will help you as you discover who you're becoming through your grief. Gift Certificates are available for the Diamond Willow Walking Sticks and the Comfort Quilts. They're also available for seminars and workshops.
FOR THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT SOMEONE IN GRIEF:I’m also pleased to announce that we offer seven flower shops and one fruit basket delivery service with a variety of arrangements and prices. You’ll even find same day delivery service at some. ** ** We’ve suggested songs to feel blue by. It's not to promote your grief, but to help you learn to control when you cry, and when you turn the crying off. Songs also have special meaning for us, and we're open to featuring any songs and books meaningful to you. Email me with titles that have helped, and I'll put these up in the Gift Shop for others to see and possibly purchase. This is a we, not a me, site. Share what helped you with someone else. The healing will come back to you. Gift Certificates are available for books, DVDs, and CDs too. Our goal is to keep prices as low as we can, but the affiliates have their own pricing. However, I'll post coupons and discounts whenever I can. If you have any suggestions or comments, send them to me at the email inside or post them on the blog as a comment at Living in the Mystery on the website www.MelodyBeattie.com.
