Healing Grief Through Funeral
Death and birth are both intertwined. Death is our ever-present companion. However, human beings have a tendency to push aside the thought of their mortality until death is looking them right in the face.
When a person we love passes away so suddenly, our initial reactions would be shock and disbelief. Usually, it is very difficult to accept the death of a loved one.
Slowly, when the shock has worn off, it is replaced by deep sorrow. It can be very difficult to make decisions, most especially with how to deal with the funeral arrangements for their departed loved one.
Considering the pain that anesthetizes people who have lost someone, it is difficult for them to create the necessary preparations for proper funeral and burial services.
Usually, the job of arranging the funeral service will be taken over by family relations and friends. However, these well-intentioned individuals may hurry the process in the misguided notion that the bereaved’s life has to get back “to normal” as soon as possible. Usually, the life of the one who passed away may not be appropriately honored.
At this time, the bereaved is very vulnerable, and the ones arranging the funeral should always bear this in mind. This is a very special and delicate moment. It will offer the family a final chance to demonstrate how much they treasure the life and the memories of their deceased loved one.
A funeral director should closely consult with the family to get an idea of how they wish the funeral service to take place. The funeral service director can then see to the details of a funeral service that will commemorate the life of the one who passed away in a most dignified and fervent way.
Funeral directors and funeral houses can also take over the particulars of meeting the state or country requisites if the bereaved or deceased had a special request for the interment (such as a sea burial, cremation, etc.).
A funeral, for individuals whose loved ones died, is a very essential ritual in processing the grief that they feel. A funeral service is part of the process of healing the pain of loss when someone we love passes away.
The funeral is a manner of bidding farewell and yet, also, a way of keeping the memories of those we love close to our hearts.
Death is a sensitive time. After all, funerals present the family with a need to transition into moving on with life. Get the best caskets for your loved one’s burial.
