Many people know that I have a small family shrine in our house as a remembrance to family members and pets that have left this world. It's not morbid. In fact, it makes me smile every time I pass it. It's my little step toward not fearing death, instead, treating it like it's a welcome guest in our house (and as a guest, death needs to behave while it's visiting.)
That's why I love the colorful clay shrines that Kirsten Page Bennett is making in her shop
My Mind Garden. You can fill the shrines with anything you want to honor be, it a lost relative, a family pet, or President Obama. The choice is entirely up to you.
Bennett also makes some skull ornaments and candle holders I think you'll like.
As Thanksgiving creeps up on us, it would be nice to give a few minutes to thinking about a a way to honor the family and friends that won't be with you this year.
