The death of a loved one can take a toll on your emotions. Grief is the human mind’s response to loss, and no two people grieve the same way. The staff at Morris Funeral Home in Wayne, WV, is here to relieve the burdens associated with funeral planning through personalized memorial services. Grieving families have enough on their plate, which is why the compassionate staff provides advice for healing following the loss of a family member or friend.

There are many healthy ways to cope with a loved one’s passing. Here are three pieces of advice from the staff:

  • Do Not Ignore It: Refrain from ignoring how you really feel. This will not make the pain go away; in fact, the pain will worsen over time. Feeling scared, sad, lonely, and even angry is normal, and there is no rule saying you have to “be strong” after losing someone you love. Be honest about your feelings with yourself and those around you.

  • memorial serviceRemember You Are Still Here: Keep in mind, you still have a life. Many people feel as if their entire lives are ruined when a loved one dies, but this is untrue. Remind yourself that you can return to work, spend time with those who love and need you, eat well, and get enough sleep. The most important step is to take care of yourself.

  • Take The Time You Need: Work through your loss on your own timetable. The idea that grief should last a year is advice no one should follow. How long it takes to grieve varies from person to person. It’s essential for you to heal, whether it’s with the help of a support group, therapist, or someone else. 

It may not seem like it sometimes, but the pain you’re feeling now won’t last forever. Work with the caring team at Morris Funeral Home to plan a heartfelt memorial service celebrating the life of your loved one. The Wayne funeral home offers a comprehensive list of funeral services at affordable rates.
