National Children's Memorial Day Candle Lighting Service


National Children's Memorial Day happens every year on the second Sunday of December and is observed internationally. Families around the world light candles at 7 p.m. in their corresponding time zones. 

As candles burn down in one time zone, they are lighted in the next, creating a 24-hour wave of light that encircles the globe. This remembrance ceremony provides the world with lit candles for an entire 24 hour period in order to honor the children we have lost, the children who lived and died, and who, even in death, continue to matter. 

 This year the date is December 9, 2012. 

  The candle lighting service will be held at Temple Chai 
4645 E. Marilyn Road Phoenix, AZ 85032. 

 The service will begin at promptly 6:30 pm. NCMD is hosted this year by the attendees of the Third Annual "Surviving the Holidaze" Workshops. We invite you, your family and friends to join us in honoring all the children who have died too soon by lighting a candle in their memory. 

 You are also welcome to bring a few items of your child to share at the memorial tables. 

  A festival of desserts following. Please bring your favorite dessert in memory of your child.

Choosing the MISS Foundation as part of your United Way Giving


For those of you who will be filling out United Way donation forms, we would like to ask that you consider designating a portion of your contribution for the MISS Foundation.  

We are a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) volunteer-based organization committed to providing crisis support and long-term aid to families after the death of a child from any cause.  

MISS also participates in legislative and advocacy issues, community engagement and volunteerism, and programs to reduce infant and toddler death through research and education.  

The MISS Foundation was founded in Arizona by ASU Assistant Professor Joanne Cacciatore following the death of her daughter Cheyenne.  

It now has 75 chapters worldwide including active support groups, in-person and online, along with many mentors volunteering to support bereaved families.

 
It's simple to add the MISS Foundation to your United Way form:  On the bottom of the page, under Option C, you can fill in:
  • "MISS Foundation, 77 East Thomas Road, #112, Phoenix, AZ 85012,"
  • VSUW Agency Code "8052"
  • and the amount you'd like to designate.
Thank you for your consideration of our request especially now at holiday time.

MEMORY OF DAWN MARIE SANSONE

11 years ago today I got the worst news a Parent could receive 

 My Daughter Dawn Marie was was taken from us by a hit and run driver, 

 The world has never been the same!! I still feel the same pain today I felt that tragic day..

 Tonite we lig
ht a candle to remember that Wonderful smile and Wonderful you

ON YOUR ANGELVERSARY

It's been so long since we saw you last...
It makes it so hard to think back to the past.

The family is not the same since you went away
We were lost, sad and helpless on that angel day.

Even after this length of time has gone by...
It still brings me to tears and I start to cry.

Oh what would you look like, where would you be...
If you were still here for all of us to see.

I think of you always, and I hope that you know...
Life here without you for surely can blow.

I know your an angel with halo and wings...
With family and friends, and know many things.

There's one thing that I want you to know today..
I will alway love you, miss you and wish you could have stayed.


Happy angelversary Dawn Marie 1978-2001

To My Anasazi Readers

Hello Anasazi Blog Reader and Contributor.. .. After receiving notice Today that our HOA Board has threatened to sue for the Anasazi Living Blog, 
Being that I am dealing with my Fathers Cancer and New Appointment to Board of my Charity I will not publish any further on blog,

  After discussing with other residents they also have agreed we have exposed all the skeletons in the closets here at Anasazi, 

 After speaking we all agreed it might be worth it fighting it legally as all facts were substantiated on blog and the truth was printed, But with this Family illness this is a time when You have to pick your battles!!  

 And winning a case against these losers would also make me a loser, I have spent 8 years keeping you all apprised of the things here, Now it is your time to use the information that was provided....FUNNY   

 The lengths they have gone to keep this game of theirs quiet..THIS OUGHT TO BE A GOOD LESSON TO Residents THAT THOSE IN POWER ARE ABUSING IT..I have archived all blog entries for further private discussions with residents..You have all been given a wealth of information..It is up to you all how you use it..

 I am still here for the crusade but do not have the time to deal with these egotistical clowns any longer. But will continue to support residents that move to have Board removed..

 IN THE END WE HAVE WON..WE EXPOSED THE CONFLICT HERE..ENOUGH THAT THEY ARE SCRAMBLING TO COVER THEIR BASES ..

 THANKS AGAIN FOR THE SUPPORT  AND THE MAIL ..But It is time to spend with family during Dad's Illness. WEBMASTER

PS I have forwarded Anasazi living to my personal blog site which is mainly of my charity, there is also a link to the other 9 websites and blogs I own  ENJOY

 I WILL BE RUNNING FOR BOARD IN JAN 2013
Watch for Private Meeting Dates, CALLED  MWM  ...They will be emailed to you... Many Residents have offed their Condos for a series of meetings, 
To continue the stride to remove and replace

The Do's and Don'ts of Grief Support












DO'S

Do ask, "How are you REALLY doing?"
Do remember that you can't take away their pain, but you can share it and help them feel less alone.
Do let your genuine concern and care show.
Do call the child by name.
Do treat the couple equally. Fathers need as much support as mothers.
Do be available...to listen, to run errands, to drive or whatever else seems needed at the time.
Do say you are sorry about what happened to their child and about their pain.
Do accept their moods whatever they may be, you are not there to judge. Be sensitive to shifting moods.
Do allow them to talk about the child that has died as much and as often as they want.
Do talk about the special, endearing qualities of the child.
Do reassure the parents that they did everything they could, that the care the child received was the best possible.
Do put on your calendar the birth and death date of the child and remember the family the following year(s).
Do the same for Mother's Day, Father's Day, the parent's birthdays and each holiday, make an effort to let the parents know you remember their child.
Do extend invitations to them. But understand if they decline or change their minds at the last minute. Above all continue to call and visit.
Do send a personal note or letter or make a contribution to a charity that is meaningful to the family.
Do get literature about the disease and grief process to help you understand.

Don'ts
Don't be afraid to ask about the deceased child and to share memories.
Don't think that the age of the child determines its value and impact.
Don't be afraid to touch, it can often be more comforting than words.
Don't avoid them because you feel helpless or uncomfortable, or don't know what to say.
Don't change the subject when they mention their child.
Don't push the parents through the grieving process, it takes a long time to heal and they never forget.
Don't encourage the use of drugs or alcohol.
Don't ask them how they feel if you aren't willing to listen.
Don't say you know how they feel.
Don't tell them what they should feel or do.
Don't try to find something positive in the child's death.
Don't say that they can always have another child.
Don't suggest that they should be grateful for their other children.
Don't suggest that had their baby lived, s/he probably would've had a lot of medical issues that would've made life hard.
Don't think that death puts a ban on laughter. There is much enjoyment in the memory of the time they had together.
Don't call it a miscarriage if the baby was born alive and later passed away.

Avoid the following cliches:
"Be brave, don't cry."
"Everything happens for a reason."
"It was meant to be."
"It was God's will" or "it was a blessing."
"Get on with your life. This isn't the end of the world."
"God needed another flower in his garden."
"God needed another Angel."
"At least it wasn't older."
"You must be strong for the other children."
"You're doing so well."
"You're young, you'll get over it."
"Time will heal."
"Maybe you should adopt."
