Weather a 4th of July celebration, or Christmas dinner, families that have lost someone dear in the recent past are sure to have a difficult time. Although they’ve seemingly made all of the right decisions…affordable on-line cremation, memorial tribute at the family’s church, their loved one’s ashes were thoughtfully taken, some were scattered, some buried in the cemetery, everything carefully planned by the grieving family, loved ones, and close friends. Why then do things still seem so complicated? The void in families lives left by the loss of a loved one can be very uncomfortable for the survivors. Though there is no magic wand, there are some things that can be done to help lighten the burden over time.
As previously mentioned, it all starts with an affordable service, or means of final disposition. In grief, I have seen many families spend a lot of money that shouldn’t be spent to pay for services of a loved one. That grief, or misplaced guilt can cause a family financial hardship for years to come as they work to pay off a service for a loved one that they couldn’t afford, forcing a financially stressful situation that could have easily been avoided by the smart, financially sound, affordable decision of online or internet cremation. Truly, this decision could change the whole course of the family’s grieving process. Remove the financial stress, and the natural grieving process will work itself out.
Beyond initial cost, another important factor of internet cremation able to help assist a grieving family cope, is the freedom of choice now available to families. Now, choices regarding services normally made for you by a funeral director are now left to you. The peace of mind a family receives as they work through the details of planning a fitting tribute for their loved one is priceless.
Of course, the idea of having family gatherings on death date anniversaries, or simply getting together and sharing memories are all wonderful ways to feel closer to our dearly departed. Holidays are wonderful times to plan these types of conversations. The path to healthy minded grief should start with internet, or on line cremation. The natural grieving process has too much to overcome otherwise.
