From obituary writing to cremation services, Adzima Funeral Home of Stratford, CT, has offered refined, compassionate funeral services for over a century. With the ambitious aim of commemorating an entire life, their professional staff gently guides families in the local community through the emotional closure of a reverent funeral.

If you’ve lost a loved one, consider these three mourning needs on the road to healing:

• Acknowledge Death As Reality: When someone close to you has first passed, it can sometimes feel as though the only way to cope with their death is with denial. In order to move past this stage, open yourself up to the idea of their absence as a reality. By visiting their body during a wake, or simply by being in the presence of the cremated remains, you can slowly move along the path to acceptance.
• Confront The Pain: Another reaction to the death of a loved one is a denial of the pain it has brought you. Since the only way to recover from pain is to face it, try to address your emotions in physical and mental ways. By traveling to places where you spent time together, reading your favorite books or listening to songs you both enjoyed, you can memorialize your loved one while working through your own personal pain.
• Develop Your Sense Of Self: When someone you love is gone, it’s often the idea of being alone that is the most disheartening. Now is the time to focus on yourself—your likes and dislikes, forgotten hobbies and dreams, or things that you have not explored in the past.
