Keeping The Memory Of Departed Loved Ones Alive


By Sophia Baker

Often, it is never easy to promptly accept the demise of a beloved. At this time, there is nothing that could replace the memories or the role that a departed loved one had in your life.

Nevertheless, time still moves even if your loved one is gone; soon, you must gather up the pieces of your life and start anew. Your loss is tremendous; after all, your beloved used to have a main part in your life. For that, you grieve.

Grieving can wholly take over the life of an individual who has lost a loved one. Taking action is one of the ways to deal with the sorrow that threatens to overwhelm a person. Taking action allows the grieving person to remember the life of the departed and celebrate and appreciate it.

One way of taking action to confront one's grief is making a visible memorial for your departed loved one. Giving tribute to the dead is part of almost all cultures in the world since ancient times. Commemorating the dead provides a sense of comfort and solace for those still of the living.

Some of the most common commemoration tokens to deceased loved ones are the grave markers people place on the graves of those who have gone on ahead; works of art or music pieces personally created by you can also serve as endearing tokens of commemoration; or you could hold a gathering at a particular place with a select friends who can contribute their best memories of the beloved who has passed away - with laughing and crying all around.

Confronting the grief brought about by the loss of a loved one is a very personal matter. Be gentle with yourself and permit yourself different ways of processing your feelings. If you are artistically inclined, painting, writing poems or stories, or creating your own music while at this process could help you deal with the grief about the demise of a loved one.

At this vulnerable moment in your life, it is also a good idea to be with family and friends who can offer you support as you deal with your grief and sadness.
