Celebrating All Soul's Day

October 28, 2016

It is often the hardest part of all, accepting that a loved one has left the world. It is heartbreaking to remember them in almost everything, when you recall them in almost every corner of your house or some place that you used to spend time with.

It is not easy to cope with death, and it never will be. But there is something that you can do to lessen the pain from the death of a loved one.

Here are some ideas that will make your family’s commemoration of All Soul’s Day more meaningful:

1. Offer prayers

The best thing that you can do is pray for your deceased loved ones. Most religions believe that prayers help the spirit be at peace. Don’t forget to involve the whole family when praying.

2. Visit the cemetery

This time, involve your kids in choosing the candles and flowers to offer to your loved ones.. Light it up and express your feelings through a small prayer. Also, visiting the cemetery with your family can serve as a small get-together that could make your time more worthwhile.

3. Relive the memories

Instead of recalling how painful it is to have lost a loved one, celebrate on how they lived their life to the fullest. Reliving happy memories is a great time to speak of them to your family.

4. Let go

This may be the hardest thing to do. But instead of suffering from the fact a loved one has gone, celebrate knowing they are happy wherever they are now. You can do this with your kids; start with a balloon, write their names on it, and let it fly to the skies. While doing this, offer a small prayer for them.

5. Prepare

Let’s face it, people come and go. A loved one will eventually rest in peace so it is just right to be prepared for the worst. Coming unprepared in this world full of uncertainties is very risky. You have to think about your family when the unfortunate happens.

Be prepared through a comprehensive insurance plan that provides assistance in the event someone dies. This will help you and your family recover not just from the loss of a loved one, but also with the loss of finances. Death is inevitable, and the best thing that we can do is to prepare for it.

Remembering someone who passed away and keeping them alive in your family’s memories is the best tribute that you can offer. And while you still can, spend more time with your loved ones above anything else. Don’t let your regret be stronger than your gratitude.
