We play different roles in our lives within all the different relationships we have.

You will find that your Loved One clearly held some roles that may never be filled again or that may be starting to be filled by another. This can be quite difficult when we take notice of someone stepping up to take on a chore, host a gathering, or make a particular recipe when that was what your Loved One had once done.

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts… – William Shakespeare

We’ll take a look at your Loved Ones roles they held as well as your roles. We’ll finally look at roles you will take on, roles that will not be filled by another and who may be able to take on some responsibilities.

Watch the video and print out the handout.

Remember you have your journal in which you are capturing your memories. If your mind goes blank on this activity, take a look at your journal to get you started.

Take a few minutes to reflect or journal:

What is the role your Loved One is known for in the family or your social circle? Is that role to be reassigned to or claimed by another or not?
