funeral resolutions

Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be difficult and may require talking about your feelings, expressing your condolences to a family member or writing about your grief. For someone close to the person dying, writing an obituary is comforting by remembering the defining moments of an individual's life may bring comfort.

It requires that you sit down and think about the person who has passed on, and decide on the traits and stories that you want to share about their life. Funeral burial services include everything from the coming together in memoriam and prayer to the burying of the deceased. Concentrate on the finer parts of their lives that touched people, even strangers.

Having very definite ideas on what they want, they leave detailed instructions on how they wish to be honored. They have no family minister and would prefer a celebration of the life lived rather than a sermon. Finally, a eulogy needs to be written as a speech, in a form that is easy to deliver.

And it doesn't end after death. Grief is not something we can simply set aside.
