Today is World Mental Health Day.

Grief can affect so much more than our emotions. It can change the way we sleep, think, concentrate, connect with others and move through everyday life.
Today is a reminder to be patient with yourself, make space for what you’re feeling and lean on the people who care about you when you need support.

If you’ve ever walked through an older cemetery, you may have noticed that many graves are arranged with the deceased’s feet toward the east and head toward the west.

This tradition has deep roots in Christianity. Historically, graves were often positioned this way so the deceased would symbolically face the rising sun and, according to Christian tradition, be facing east at the resurrection.
The practice also gave many cemeteries a consistent layout, though burial customs vary by culture, religion, cemetery and time period.

Every life is filled with stories, the ones we’ve heard a hundred times, the ones that still make us laugh and the little moments we never want to forget.

A funeral, memorial service or celebration of life creates a place for those stories to be shared. It brings family and friends together to remember, reflect and find comfort in one another.

Because when we gather to share the stories of someone we love, we help keep their memory alive.

On this day in history, October 4, 1957: Sputnik 1 became the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth.

Its launch marked the beginning of the Space Age and changed the course of space exploration forever. Though it was only about the size of a beach ball, Sputnik’s journey around Earth was one giant step into a whole new frontier!

She was also known for the things she made with love in her kitchen-especially her delicious fig pies and the gumbo she cooked just like her mother, a recipe that carried a piece of her family's history and love.

Mona's love, laughter, traditions, and the memories she created with her family will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. Her recipes, her hobbies, her collections, and most of all, the love she gave her family will be part of her legacy for generations to come.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

The family would like to extend special thanks to the team at Gueydan Memorial Guest Home for the love and care they had for Mona and also Lamm Hospice for their kindness and care during her last days.
