The Remember Wall

Death dismembers us.

As surely as amputating a limb from our body, death removes a member of our family, our community, our very selves, leaving us broken, wounded, and achingly uncertain of how to move through life.

The word “remember” is generally defined as, “to have in or be able to bring to one’s mind an awareness of someone or something that one has seen, known, or experienced in the past”. However, I believe that the word “remember” in grief is much more powerful, much more an active verb than that definition suggests.

To remember in grief is to actively “re-member” ourselves. To re-call to ourselves, to re-attach to ourselves, the members that death has taken from us.

It is my hope that the EYG Remember Wall may help to do just that. That by answering the question, “Which of your loved one’s defining characteristics would you most like to embody?”, and placing their photos here, we may begin to re-member the beloved dead to our broken selves.

In doing so, may we also create a new community of support and re-membrance to the benefit of all.
