Date Memories:\u00a0 Remembering when things happened in the past by remembering the dates of important events.<\/p>\n
For example people who have lived through a major natural disaster remember life events by \u201cbefore\u201d the storm and \u201cafter\u201d the storm (or earthquake or fire, etc.) .<\/p>\n
What about: Before and after high school?\u00a0 College?\u00a0 Marriage?\u00a0 Children?\u00a0\u00a0 Death of a loved one?\u00a0 A serious accident?<\/p>\n
What about holidays?\u00a0 Have any life events marked holidays as special or depressing for you?<\/p>\n
Are certain seasons marked in your life by happy or sad events?<\/p>\n
I have markers in my life that were placed there by several of the above scenarios. \u00a0 I can remember events by when we moved to different states, by before and after a natural disaster and two holidays are somewhat depressing because of multiple deaths of loved ones on or close to those holidays.<\/p>\n
This week includes three days in a row that involved my loved ones.\u00a0 My father in law passed away on the 28th<\/sup>, my late mother\u2019s birthday is on the 29th<\/sup> and my Baby Girlfriend Cookie passed away on the 30th<\/sup>.\u00a0 I will always remember when those two deaths took place because they revolved around my mother\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n What life events have determined the \u201cmarkers\u201d in your life?<\/p>\n What serious and important events have divided your life into the before and after stages?<\/p>\n Are those markers good events or sad ones?<\/p>\n As we enter the winter season of life it\u2019s helpful to have these markers, as it can get harder to remember when certain events took place.<\/p>\n After all, the longer we live, the more events we have to remember!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Date Memories:\u00a0 Remembering when things happened in the past by remembering the dates of important events.
