"Little dove I love you so
but I know you had to go.
So spread your wings
and fly my love,
soar above the world my dove.
Paint the sky indigo,
let your graceful colors flow
and I’ll search the sky
for your rainbow."

- Christy Ann Martine

Regrief is generally used to describe a child's grief, but it can be used for adults as well. As you continue on your journey through life and experience "big moments" (weddings, graduations, etc.) without your loved one, you may experience "regrief." Even if it's years later, the special occasion can cause you to feel the same grief you felt at the time of your loss.
In these situations, take a moment to acknowledge your grief and reflect on the memories you were able to share with your loved one. Know that they will always be with you in your heart.

Contact us if you have specific questions about this or other topics. We are always striving for honest and open communication on all things funeral related.
