In January, we've been reflecting on the year that has passed and the new year ahead of us. Now that we've welcomed 2025, we're sharing with our community one of our favorite new-year-related reflections, the author John Green's beautiful review and commentary on the classic song, Auld Lang Syne: https://lnkd.in/dvDWp2Ta We hope you enjoy this beautiful reflection on love, loss, hope, and remembering the good old days. Wishing you much hope and love in the new year, The Lighten Team

At a recent Lighten celebration in St. Louis, an honoree's granddaughter read an excerpt from Willa Cather's My Ántonia, to express the importance of her grandfather's farm to their family life. It's beautiful to witness the memories, stories, and influences that continue to live on in the family and friends of loved ones who have passed. #Lighten #celebrationsoflife #celebrationoflife #myantonia #willacather #readings #funerals #celebratinglife #lightencelebrationsoflife

When multiple cultures play a role in a loved one's life, a multi-lingual celebration of life can be a beautiful way to honor their heritage and bring family and friends together. #Lighten #Lightencelebrations #celebrationoflife #celebrations #lifecelebrations #multilingual #Italian
