What does "May his memory be for a blessing" mean?
This is a possible duplicate, I thought I had posted it but I'm not seeing it.
I saw a touching opinion about the meaning of the phrase at https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-phrase-May-his-memory-be-for-a-blessing-mean. The author suggests that the ongoing effects of the deceased's actions in life can inspire and benefit others and we should wish for this to happen.
Variety of opinion is to be expected. I was wondering whether that interpretation is within the mainstream, and how many other interpretations there are.
This is meaningful to me since I have had to mourn several people who changed the world and changed lives, one quite recently.
