The Foundational Principles of Beyond This Day
Begin With …
Beyond This Day provides a level of comfort
and support for the grief stricken family that
traditional gestures lack the ability to convey.
Providing comfort and consolation to those who
experience the loss of a loved one.
THE WAY OF HOPE THE WAY OF HOPE
3. Throughout history, we humans have grieved
the passing of our loved ones. Because of death’s
inevitability, the act of remembering deceased
loved ones is a way to hold the life of another
in our mind, and support one another during a
time of grief. In this way, memories can be a wise
teacher and a profound comfort to us in a time
when we are most vulnerable.
A full third of our lives is spent working side
by side with others who often share in our
happiness and our sorrows. Those we work
with come to know our lives and those of our
family members, and genuinely want to provide
comfort and support when needed. Beyond This
Day allows your company to sincerely express
that support in a tangible way.
Our program affirms to the employee and their
family that they are not alone in their grief. The
simple act of sharing a keepsake gift from your
company to help them remember the life that
was lost is an enormous comfort to those who
receive it. The profoundly positive impact on
the family is apparent when the employee and
the family thankfully respond to your Human
Resource department for caring enough to send
such a meaningful memorial tribute in honor
of their loved one.
BeyondThis Day not only reminds the employee
that your company truly cares,but conveys a
message of personal concern to the entire family.
In that first difficult year after the death, Beyond
This Day provides a section called,“A Year of
Aftercare”which offers positive affirmations and
meditations to prepare the family members for that
first holiday or birthday or anniversary without
their loved one—true therapeutic support for all.
BeyondThis Day leaves a lasting
impression from your company
that is remembered for generations,
while controlling and often
lowering the cost.

with Sorrow and passed her lessons on.

Beyond This Day offers companies and
organizations a unique and dignified way to
support and comfort those with whom we
work when a family member passes away.
4. The Record of a Family ... The Memory of a Life
In section one “Remembering”, the family is invited to
remember their loved one in special ways. A record of the
funeral service itself is provided for those who, in years to
come, will see how when and where the family bade farewell
to their loved one. A place for a photograph
of the deceased becomes part of the family
treasures passed along from generation to
generation. A “Family Register”provides a
record for the spouse, and of children and
grandchildren. Journal pages are provided
to list friends who are near and dear to the
person lost. Recording the relationship
that person had to the community and the
unique things they may have stood for is
a powerful way to remember their loved
one. Additionally,“Times to Remember”
allow the family to record those personal
memories of their loved one as it relates to
the family. This act of writing is known to
provide therapeutic and ongoing support
that is befitting a memorial tribute to the
lost loved one.
Walking with the Sorrow ... Living with the Grief
In “A Time to Mourn”, Beyond This Day
addresses the varying degrees of grief
and the depth of emotions surrounding
the loss. The fact is, grief is an individual
experience. The emotional anguish and
rush of feelings are unique to every
person and are influenced by differing
relationships and circumstances.
Understanding that to be true, there
are common denominators of sorrow
and the undeniable, “reasons of the
heart” that are addressed throughout
this section. The shock, the emotional
avoidance, having to face the pain, or the
search for answers, dealing with the fear
and the sorrow, and carrying the guilt
and loneliness that sometimes leads to
despair are the emotions explained in
the light of hope and gratitude for the
lives we shared together.

5. A Special Section
Beyond This Day focuses on helping the entire family by examining the
unique relationships each family member has had with the person who was
lost. Based on the relationship to each family member and the circumstances
surrounding the loss, Beyond This Day offers a hopeful discussion for the each
family member that addresses the emotional changes and challenges they
are facing. The discussion reinforces a sense of understanding and purpose to
help the family member continue their journey. Beyond This Day is a lasting
resource for the entire family.
Sixteen additional pages help the family to identify and address
the emotional changes they may experience.
The Movement of a Year ... The Movement of a Heart
The first year is generally the hardest for us. Section
Three, “Seasons of Feelings”, provides a full year of aftercare
and focuses on each month with positive
meditations and affirmations to help the
family move through their grief. There is
an emphasis on the special occasions of
birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries that
can often bring the sadness and sorrow
surrounding the loss into profound
focus. Beyond This Day offers words of
encouragement and inspiration that
reminds us of the presence of our loved
ones in our hearts in their absence. The
affirmations identify the emotional
hardships we face and remind us to yet
be grateful for those times we shared and
celebrated in life.
Helpful Connections ... Helpful Bereavement Resources
In the last section, Beyond This Day acts as a functional
resource for the family.There are key responsibilities and
obligations that require our attention when a family member
is gone. We provide helpful discussions on what to do
immediately, what must be done in the days and weeks
following the funeral, along with helpful books and websites
that offer assistance in a variety of ways. This section offers
a wealth of practical advice in addition to highlighting other
avenues of knowledge and support from a number of outside
sources and materials.

Our customers recognize that while traditional gestures for bereavement are always appreciated,
they lack the ability to leave a long-term, lasting impression. Comparatively, they understand
that traditional gestures limit the company’s ability to engage their employees and support the

THE UNITED STATES ARMY
Army
From Continental Army to Counterinsurgency
The first of America’s armed forces was the Continental Army of
1775. It was made up of former British army soldiers and members of
colonial militias. Under the leadership of George Washington, it was
quickly embroiled in battle against British forces, employing what would
later be called guerilla tactics to hack away at British forces and their
mercenary allies. The Continental Army ultimately succeeded and at the
Treaty of Paris, the independence of the United States was recognized.
In 1791 a standing army was established. In the war of 1812 the
ground army stood strong, and scored a major defeat of British forces.
For the next decades the Army skirmished with Native Americans who
were trying to halt the rush of settlers migrating west. It also fought the
Mexican-American War, which gained for the United States an enor-
mous amount of territory.
With the Confederate States of America opening fire on the Union-
held Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, the bloodiest war in
U.S. history began. The superior industrial strength of the north and
sheer number of Union troops afoot, brought decisive end-of-war vic-
tories in Gettysburg and Vicksburg. After the Civil War, Army victories
in the Spanish-American War and Philippine-American War gained
much additional land for the U. S.
In World War I, Army troops helped breach German lines, aiding
the ultimate victory for the allied forces of Britain, France and Russia.
The United States joined World War II after the attack on Pearl Har-
bor. Army forces eventually helped capture Sicily and North Africa
and army soldiers by the thousands engaged the enemy courageously
on D-Day and in battles leading to the subsequent defeat of German

From a Grateful Nation
Our lives are bound at every turn to other people. We live in groups and
usually do what we can to make the life of the group a little better. No where is
this more evident than in the United States Armed Forces. Whether your loved
oneservedonetourofduty,orprovideddecadesofservice,thereisauniqueand
unbreakable bond among those who served. It is one of the few professions that
require a commitment to a cause greater than one’s own life. The profession of
arms revolves not around the tangible rewards associated with other endeavors
but rather around the intangible virtues of duty, honor and service.
Military service often comes with extreme hardship, suffering, separation
from family and trauma not only to service members but also to their loved
ones. It may also bring a sense of fulfillment and pride rarely achieved in other
vocations. Your loved one was part of this distinct group of men and women
who, at one time, stepped forward and said, “I will serve.”
Many, if not most veterans, go on to meaningful and rewarding careers af-
ter their service. Veterans contribute to society in an untold number of ways
and their time in uniform helped define them. Traits and skills learned are eas-
ily transferable and much needed in society. More importantly than job skills,
however, are the traits veterans learned while serving: courage, commitment,
selflessness, tenacity, the list continues. Veterans have been tested, many on the
battlefield, on or under the sea and in the skies above.
In this volume we honor the many Americans who have served, and in
doing so made great sacrifices; some even the ultimate sacrifice, so that we all
might live free.
A Memorial Tribute & Keepsake Volume
To Pay Tribute ...
The Great Longing. Throughout recorded history we humans have
grieved the passing of one of our own. The religions of the world have all
variously defined the great longing in the human heart to reach beyond this
mortal life. Because of the inevitability of death, the act of remembering de-
ceased loved ones has always been a way to hold the life of another in our
minds. Those associated with the military might perhaps have a better no-
tion of this tradition than others. The families of veterans understand in a
unique way that memory is a great teacher. What we share as humans is the
innate need, the great longing to remember those we have loved.
The particular qualities that endeared a loved one to us can and should
be passed on to others, stories of the bends and curves and blind corners of
a life; stories of triumph and service, of duty and honor. Our loved ones live
on in the hearts and minds of those who are left. The great longing is really
for an undying connection to those we love. Their character does not perish,
but lives on in those who have been affected by it.
In the following section we offer a record of the life of your loved one. It
is a place to set down the dates, the times, the images and the thoughts that
make up your loved one’s legacy and that will keep an eternal flame in your
heart and in the hearts of future generations.
