The Process Of Mourning
When a person we cherish dies so suddenly, our first reactions would be shock and disbelief. It can be very hard to accept what happened.
The instance we get over our first reaction, sorrow settles in. With the deep sorrow, it can be very difficult to make sound decisions, especially decisions related to the organization for the funeral of our loved one.
Because of the pain that only the death of a beloved can cause, it is no surprise that many mourning individuals are incapable of getting proper arrangements for the funeral of their loved ones.
Usually, it is the well-meaning family relations and friends who assign themselves to handle the preparations for the funeral. Nevertheless, these well-intentioned individuals may rush the process in the misguided notion that the bereaved’s life has to get back “to normal” in the soonest possible time. Often, the life of the one who passed away may not be appropriately commemorated.
Funeral directors recognize a mourning family’s vulnerability at the time of death of their beloved. This is a a moment when the emotions of those left behind by the one who passed away should be taken into consideration. It is the family’s final chance to pay their respects to someone they love.
So as to have a smooth flow of the funeral service that is to the preference of the bereaved family, the funeral director should directly consult with the grieving family members. Then, it is in the hands of the funeral director to ensure that the bereaved family’s wishes are followed and that the remembrance of the life of the deceased will be as decent and as fervent as possible.
Moreover, a funeral director can process requisites and iron out the details for special requests regarding interments (for instance, burials at sea or cremation), as these burial practices may need special permits from the state or country.
A funeral, for those whose loved ones died, is a very important ritual in processing the grief that they experience. A funeral is an important rite in the start of the healing process of the pain that we all experience when someone we love passes away.
Funerals are rites where we bid adieu to those people who died and yet remain precious in our lives – we bid them goodbye yet keep their memories alive in our hearts.
Arranging funerals for departed loved ones can add to the sadness of a mourning family. Leave the delicate matter of funeral arrangements in the hands of compassionate professionals.
