How to Cope With the Death of a Loved One

The death of a loved one is a devastating event, but it is one that all of us must experience at some time in our lives. In this article we look at some of the emotions and issues surrounding this loss and look at some of the ways to cope and deal with these feelings.

Everyone grieves in their own way and those close to you will have their own ideas about how you are supposed to grieve. No doubt well meaning friends and relations will want to give advice about how you should behave.

Depending on whether you have chosen to have your loved one buried or cremated, will determine how you are able to remember them in the future. If you have chosen a burial, then it is likely that they will have a head stone on the grave with some personal words of remembrance.

On the other hand if you have decided on cremation, you may want to consider having a memorial plaque made. Slate is an ideal medium for this type of remembrance and can be used indoors or out.

If you have a garden you could decide to dedicate a quiet corner, where you could place a memorial plaque and have a bench or seat there, where you can sit and remember the happy times that you spent with your loved one.

The inscription that you choose for your plaque can be poignant or funny, it could be a favourite phrase that your loved one often said or an experience that you both shared.
