[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 253296, member: 6370"] I saw a book on creating personal shrines. They can be decorated with pictures of deceased loved ones, they have little drawers and compartments in which one can place personal items relevant to the relationship. Poems that touch the heart of the artisan and have connections to her emotional ties with the lost. RM mentioned that she displays the pictures of her difficult child when he was little, so she can remember him before things went bad. I want to make a shrine for the living, my difficult children. I think it will help me come to some kind of acceptance of their life choices and MAYBE help me get out of my place of anger. In my shrine I will place their first hair cut, their baby teeth, their booties (they were so little!), Mother's Day cards created at school, a heart shaped stone engraved with the word "MIRACLE", a little heart pillow difficult child 2 made for Father's Day, the olive branch difficult child 2 smuggled through customs on his way back from Greece. I will think of more things as I create it. I wish we (this board) could create some type of virtual sacred space, no denomination, just love, acceptance, and spirituality. What would you place in your sacred space? [/QUOTE]
