Losing a family member or a good friend is a very trying time for all who are involved. It is said that time heals all wounds but even with time you do not want to forget your loved one. Online memorials can help keep the memory alive and help you celebrate the life of a love one.
I met a family therapist at a dinner party I was attending a month or so ago. In the course of my questioning him about his practice, his patients and his general therapy practices, he informed me that whenever he is working with a family that has experienced the loss of a family member or loved one, he always recommends that they read How to Survive the Loss of A Love. He said that the book is not a daunting text book about getting over loss but more like a survival guide for getting through those early months of coping and healing. Within the pages are encouraging words in brief sentences as well as poems related to the messages. He said that most patients don’t want to dwell on the subject during those days. The brief reminders of what they can do to help deal with the pain are just what they need and really, about all they can handle.
