a year or so ago, there was an article in a scrap magazine (can't remember which one though, lol) that talked about this. supposedly- scrapping memorial pages is very healthy. it means that you confront the issue- the death of a loved one, for instance. the article that i read focused on 9/11.

focus on the positive stuff. like if i were to scrap when my hubby lost his job, i'd talk about how it enabled him to find a much better job, where he's actually happy. it's a valid part of our lives- and we're scrapping our lives for future generations to look back on and enjoy. just think- our great great grandkids will have a wealth of information about how we lived at the turn of the century. why not give them the bad as well as the good? show them how we were able to overcome tragedy, and how it was able to strengthen us?
