The Need for a Memory
| A funeral is a time for everyone
to share a life that was, and to celebrate the spirit of the one who died.
Viewing the deceased allow people to touch, see and begin the process of
acceptance. Seeing the deceased does not increase the pain and in most cases
actually minimizes the disbelief, fantasies and distorted images that are
sometimes present with death. Grief counselors recognize the importance
of the funeral and the viewing of the deceased in facilitating the acceptance
of death. It is fact that families who are deprived the opportunity to memorialize
and visualize the deceased have a much more difficult time with grief and
the grieving process (more). |
