Half-term In Memorians: A good idea?

Asked by rebbel (35547points) September 5th, 2010

I have noticed in myself a feeling of pity, when i attended funerals where In Memorians were spoken.
Pity for the deceased, whom i think, would have loved to have heard what nice and loving things were said about them, if they were alive.
By no means the same thing, but last week when i reached 10K and @zen_ and @Adirondackwannabe threw me a party, i got showered with lots of sweet and complimentuous remarks, that got me feel quite good/better.
My question:
Would it be a good idea to have half-term In Memorians for people we love, and tell them what we think about them, which strings they touched in us, why we love them, etc.?
I have this feeling that that would boost people’s (possible lack of) self esteem/self worth?!
What is your opinion on this?
Thanks!
The name In Memorian is probably not well chosen for the idea i unfolded, but i trust there will be Jellies who can come up with an appropiate replacement.
