When Faced with a Death in The Family or Friends, Etc

It is never easy.  The pain, sorrow, is there. Realizing you will never see them again. Totally hurts. You only have the awesome memories you shared, pictures,.  Its important to remember them as a healthy, happy, vibrant, person they were.  They wouldn’t want you to dwell on the pain.  This is the time to have the entire family together. Do a crying section. Start talking about that pain. Create a party in their honor. Funeral arrangements have got to be made.  Focusing your heart and mind on the positives.  Knowing they lead a full life.  And, you enjoyed every minute of it.  If they died by illness. Know they are not suffering any more. If they died by carelessness of a doctor. Find out all the information and do what you have to do. Report the Doctor for their carelessness.  

And never do a funeral alone. Possibly bond with friends, family etc.. each person can do parts of the funeral, and honored ceremony after the funeral.  Contributing a song in honor.  It would also be recommended a closed casket. With an outstanding picture of that person.  How he or she would want to be remembered.   

It will no doubt be hard to realize life will go on when a tragedy occurs.  The more you loved that person the more you will hurt.  Again, that’s when friends and family come in and bonding occurs.  Never be alone on these times. 

Crying is also important.  Talking about your feelings is also important.  Keeping busy also helps.  Try avoiding alcohol during these times that may make it worse.  You may get drunk and make your life worse.  

If you like spas or realizing methods suggest it to the rest of the family and etc. They will no doubt need this as well.  They are hurting too.  Hugs and reminding each other how much you all love each other.  And, what ever took that life. If it was a health matter.  To avoid that happening again. After the funeral and everything is done. Stay in touch with each other even more.  Do get family times,.  Laughter and happiness keeps everyone healthier.  Along with a healthy balanced meal plan.  Walking, activity,.  Keeping an eye on your numbers: cholestrol,.  Being a safe and careful driver also helps.  

Also, consider how low can you get the funeral.  Flowers for it.  How many people will be showing up.  Where is the best place to have a funeral.  Sometimes the person may want to have their ashes scattered over a certain location.   

It would also be considerate to pray over the person after they died.  Asking your family pastor to be with the family when the time comes.  To pray for the family and the person dieing.  Possibly give the person a last trip where ever they want to go such as a beach, park,.  Before they die they can have a scene in their mind and heart.  To make their last days special.  If it is health related.  And, you know they will be dieing soon.  

For all who has lost a loved one. May they rest in peace.  My heart goes out to you. They were lucky to have a special person like you in their life. Their memories will live on in your heart.  Thank you for reading my article. I hope it helps.
