A Lasting Tribute<\/strong>
The grieving process doesn\u2019t end when the funeral does. Oftentimes, the services are just the first steps to healing and recovery. It can be hard for the bereaved to return to their regular routines so soon after the services are over, especially given the demands of the modern world and the limits that many employers place on allowed time for grieving.<\/p>\n\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]

Creating a lasting tribute can give family and friends a permanent place to visit when they need help feeling connected to the loved one who has passed. It serves as a focus for their memory, and provides a private space for reflection and peace. It can also serve as a location for family and friends to commemorate important occasions, and can help make it easier to cope on meaningful dates like birthdays or anniversaries.<\/p>\n\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]

As the years pass, a permanent memorial can also become a link to the past for younger generations who may not have had the opportunity to meet the departed loved one during their lifetime.<\/p>\n\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]

How to honor a life<\/h3>\n

Everyone has a unique way of handling a tragedy, and it\u2019s OK to honor that.<\/p>\n

Below are seven ways to not only honor your loved one but also heal your heart and strengthen yourself.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Plant a Memorial Tree<\/li>\n
  • Keepsake Saplings<\/li>\n
  • Keepsake Seed Packets<\/li>\n
  • Bird Feeder Memorial Gift<\/li>\n
  • Organize a drive in your loved one\u2019s memory<\/li>\n

Others buy paper lanterns and light up the night sky at a special memorial service. Still others may send off their loved one\u2019s favorite shirts to be made into a quilt or used as patchwork for a stuffed animal, or may have a canvas painting done from a favorite picture.\n\nThese are all ways to not only comfort yourself and have something special that reminds you of your loved one, but also things that celebrate their life. Surround yourself with their love.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Surround yourself with their love” tab_id=”1767732794962-e9a56c00-8690″][vc_column_text css=””]Cover your bed\u2019s headboard with their pictures. Wear their shirts and sweaters and hats. Put a memento they loved on your nightstand. Wallpaper an area in your home with the greeting cards you exchanged. They may not be physically present any longer, but it\u2019s okay to cherish what they meant to you and surround yourself with the wonderful time you shared together.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Transfer your emotions into an activity” tab_id=”1767733036924-5b69a1d1-20c9″][vc_column_text css=””]Whether it\u2019s a hobby that\u2019s been dormant for some time, a new activity altogether, or even something you used to share with your loved one\u2014transferring your emotions into an activity is a great way to detox yourself from stress and other upsetting emotions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
