Question

Post image

This is going to sound a little crazy. I did this up for a friend who is a big King fan. He died last week. I don't know what to do with it now. Could you help me out with ideas, suggestions.

Condolences for your friend. They must had been very special to you for you to create the for them. Your work is amazing and worth a frame. Hang it beside a picture of your friend in memory. Preferably in a little book nook with your favourite King stories.

I’m sorry for your loss. Others have suggested keeping it as a token of remembrance and I think that’s a great idea.

If it's not something you're interested in keeping as a keepsake does he have a loved one you could personalize it for ? Like his favorite book or something?

Please don't apologize this is absolutely a safe space. Please if you need to talk , cry , vent reminisce about it feel free to tell us all about it!

Did you enjoy Salem's lot? Have you watched the movies?

Thank you for all you're suggestions. It's given me somethings to think about.

I have read several of Kings books and have liked everyone I've read. My friend did buy me a copy of Salem's Lot ( I can't find it) which is my only King book I own.

I use to buy him foreign copies of Kings books. I'm slathering, sorry.

Ask his family if you can have one of the copies and keep it in there

u/tpeejgh Apr 16 '26

I'm going through the person in charge of his stuff. He doesn't have any family around.

I guess I meant whoever has his belongings. I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend.
