When grieving a death, memorialization – taking time to honor the life
of a loved one in a meaningful way – and remembering the difference
a loved one made in our lives can be an important step in the journey
toward healing.
Today, there are so many ways we can remember and honor
the unique people in our lives. Memorialization can be a personal
experience that reflects the personal values, interests and
experiences of our loved ones and helps those who are left behind
to remember those who matter most.
Sharing stories and reflecting on a person’s life offer opportunities
to remember how our loved ones shaped and influenced our lives.
Acknowledging the importance of loved ones in our lives is an
essential step in the healing process.
Having the talk of a lifetime is the first step.
You
mattered.
Deep down, most of us want to know that we, in
some way, made a difference in this world – that
we mattered to someone, and that after we die,
we will be fondly remembered by those who knew
and cared for us.
