Paying Respects “In Person”

The live streaming of funeral services increased significantly during the pandemic, allowing more people to attend these services virtually at a time when protocols limited the size of gatherings. At our funeral home, we can offer live streaming to provide on-line access to those who are unable to attend in person.

With the relaxing of social distancing protocols, as a society, we once again are interacting with one another in person. Movies theatres, bingo halls and large audience events are once again open, with attendees sharing experiences, shoulder to shoulder.

The importance of attending a funeral service in person cannot be understated, in support of a mourning family who is experiencing a significant loss, their beloved. If a service is being held locally and you are able to attend “in person” your support is sure to be noticed and appreciated.

These are times when a hug to comfort or direct eye-to-eye contact is ever so important.

Ways to Find Calm

Stress and anxiety can hamper a griever’s ability to process thoughts and emotions experienced when grieving the loss of a loved one. Good grief has as one of its pillars the ability to evolve over time and come to an understanding about a past relationship with a beloved.

Introducing calm allows someone who is grieving the opportunity to think clearly and to develop thought patterns which are beneficial as they heal.

Some of the ways to find inner calm are:

1. Keep life simple; don’t overcomplicate situations and try not to rush through activities.
2. Live in the moment. Try not to become distracted by negative or ‘what if’ thoughts. Concentrate on the time at hand.
3. Relax. Introduce meditation and breathing practices into daily routines. Self-help methods can be a source of calming.
4. Find your own special quiet space.
5. Exercise, go for a walk and visit new places.
6. Make nature more a part of your life. Unplug. Spend quality time in natural surroundings.
7. Do something nice for yourself. Reward yourself. Buy yourself a gift that you know you will enjoy.
