Keeping Memories of Loved Ones Alive
We all experience loss in our lives, and dealing with grief while also honoring and remembering our loved ones can be incredibly challenging. Particularly around the holidays, those who were closest to us who have passed on are often at the top of our minds.

That's why this week in the HerMoney podcast*, Jean sits down with Allison Gilbert, author of "Passed and Present: Keeping Memories of Loved Ones Alive," on love, loss and moving on. Her book has been described as a "how-to" manual for remembering our loved ones, and it contains 85 practical ways to remember, honor and celebrate those who have passed.

Allison walks us through how we can all take ownership of ensuring our loved ones’ memories live on in perpetuity. She also talks about how we can be an awesome friend and coworker to people who have lost loved ones, when we just aren’t sure what to say.
