My guest today is Laura Munts, of the Family Lives On Foundation, a non-profit organization that uses tradition fulfillment to focus on the LIFE STORY rather than talking about the “death story”. Children and their family chose a cherished tradition to recreate in celebration of their parent’s life and find healing in baking the cookies or having a picnic in the park. You can learn more about The Family Lives On Foundation by visiting: www.familyliveson.org or calling 610 458-1690.
