<p>Thinking about our theme of&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;Death Is the Memory of the Living,&rdquo;</strong>&nbsp;I&rsquo;m so grateful for Continuing Bonds Theory. This theory recognizes that a&nbsp;<strong>death</strong>&nbsp;does not end a relationship. It&rsquo;s healthy and even healing to stay connected to our loved ones in different ways, and we want to do this because we don&rsquo;t ever want to forget them. Whether it&rsquo;s lighting a candle, writing a letter, having a conversation, or continuing their work, to name a few, our loved ones live on in us.</p>
