Do you see the value in going through this?<br/><br/></span></p>
<p><span>It may not feel like it now, but</span><span> grief is an honor</span><span>. It is an honor to feel that much, to have loved that much. It teaches you compassion, gratitude, resilience, and the importance of grabbing life by the horns and truly living.<br/></span></p>
<p><span>It is not easy to go through, but remember the pain you feel now will NOT always be there. Little by little you will let go of the loss, but never the love.<br/><br/></span></p>
<p><span>If you’re wondering how to deal with grief, know that there are 7 stages of grief you go through. This turbulent tsunami we call emotional grief is normal, perfectly natural, and needs to be felt to heal. Give yourself space to feel your emotions as you go through all the stages of grief to heal, without shame. There is no timeline. There is no deadline. Feel your grief, find the value in your grief and choose to allow your light to shine through all the cracks and holes of your heart, lighting up yourself and others around you.<br/><br/>Find out more here: <a href="https://www.lifesongmilestones.com/blogs/blogs/moving-through-the-seven-stages-of-grief" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.lifesongmilestones.com/blogs/blogs/moving-through-the-seven-stages-of-grief</a><br/><br/>Best Funeral Gift Ideas: <a href="https://www.lifesongmilestones.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.lifesongmilestones.com/</a></span></p> Allow for Healthy Grieving by Making Pre Death Arrangementstag:www.onlinegriefsupport.com,2022-03-04:2054931:Topic:4357462022-03-04T15:27:27.240ZBenny Avinahttp://www.onlinegriefsupport.com/profile/LifeSongTeam

<p><span>No one knows when it may be time to say goodbye. Unfortunately, life can end in the blink of an eye. You can’t plan when, how, or why life ends, but you can help your friends and family in making pre passing arrangements. Doing so allows your loved ones to focus on grieving your loss, taking the stress away from the post life planning process.</span></p>
<p><span>Even after passing, the impact of making pre arrangements allows for your family to rest assured they are honoring your legacy how you want to be honored. The weight of planning and organizing your arrangements will all be lifted from your family after you pass. This allows more time to focus on the memory and allow the process of healing to begin. The following are a list of arrangements that you can handle prior to passing. To begin, have a will in order. Having a will in place is key to ensuring that everything you own gets into the hands of your loved ones. A will also ensures the bank or other legal firms do not take assets that have not been correctly designated. Having one prepared will save your loved ones time, money, and ensure that they receive everything you have intended for them.</span></p>
<p><span>Additionally, a rather simple step that can be taken is designating someone to head your funeral arrangements. Find a loved one you would like to leave in charge of your post life arrangements and have them assist you in your plans. They can help you prepare for things such as the funeral service, burial or cremation plans, and financial options. Remember to keep them in the loop and allow them to ask questions and state concerns when necessary. Finally, locate all important documents that loved ones may need at any point. Make a file including any documents (Birth Certificate, Marriage License, Bank Information, Etc.) that may be helpful to loved ones after you have passed.</span></p>
<p><span>Each of these tasks are great ways to help your family even after you are gone. However, achieving these tasks can be complicated. There are many online resources available to help you in your arrangements. Do some research on each of these tasks. You can find an article <a href="https://www.lifesongmilestones.com/pages/make-funeral-pre-arrangements-to-help-out-your-loved-ones#designate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> which covers each of these steps more in depth should you be interested.</span></p>
<p><span>Overall, it is a helpful and loving gesture to have prearrangements made before passing. Preparing these arrangements will ensure that your loved ones are looked after even once you have passed.</span></p> Encouragement While Navigating Grieftag:www.onlinegriefsupport.com,2022-03-02:2054931:Topic:4354942022-03-02T14:41:18.484ZBenny Avinahttp://www.onlinegriefsupport.com/profile/LifeSongTeam

<p>Working to overcome grief can be extremely difficult. There are many ways that people believe are the best ways to navigate through grief. It is important to realize that everyone will deal with grief in their own way. Following a plan for grieving may help, but ultimately, you will deal with your grief in a unique way. Finding healthy and helpful ways to deal with a loss will allow you to heal in your own best way. One of the most common ways people move through the process of grief is following the <a href="https://www.lifesongmilestones.com/pages/moving-through-the-seven-stages-of-grief" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7 Steps of Grief Plan</a> which gives a broad outline of working through the process of grief. This method allows one to follow a guided plan while still working through the various steps how they feel comfortable. Most importantly, it helps someone who is grieving turn the pain of loss into a loving memory of what that person meant to them. There are many different methods of grieving available to people experiencing loss. Research and find a method that you feel comfortable working through. The main takeaway from any method of healing is that it will take time.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It should be noted that many emotions will be felt throughout grief. Loosing someone you love is the hardest thing that can happen to a person. It is a normal part of grief to have thoughts of depression or in some instances, worse. If you are experiencing these thoughts, it is important you open up to somebody close to you right away. Surround yourself with loved ones and share your grief. Healing will happen and holding strong through the grief will make you so much stronger.

Please remember that you are not in this alone and that you are loved.</p> Death bureaucracytag:www.onlinegriefsupport.com,2021-12-02:2054931:Topic:4334202021-12-02T17:18:19.942ZLuís Silvahttp://www.onlinegriefsupport.com/profile/LuisSilva

I am 32 and I lost my mom because of covid. Feeling depressed, devastated and having psychological support. I wonder is it normal to feel so depressed that you don't want to talk to anybody?<br />
BTW, I had lost my dad when I was only 2 years old because of traffic accident. He died and the court found him more guilty than the driver. I have just found out it, because mom always hided it from me.

<p>I've been posting in groups but it seems like no one is there anymore. I doubt anyone cares but it's the anniversary or my loss and I cant bear the pain. It's been 2 years and feels worse than the first day. Every minute is a minute they're further away from me and I just don't see the point in much of anything anymore.</p>
