Process Your Emotions 

When setting out to plan a funeral or cremation service for your loved one, it’s important that you take the time to process your emotions prior. While your feelings may be fresh when you are in the midst of the planning process, if you’ve taken the time to process them ahead of time, you will be able to better manage them when things in the process become emotional. To ensure that you properly process your emotions, we recommend spending some time alone with yourself and really assess how you are feeling after the death. If this means crying, then we highly encourage releasing those emotions for however long you need to. If you feel the need to speak about your emotions with another person, then reaching out to friends and family could also be a therapeutic and healthy alternative. When we release our emotions rather than bottling them up, we allow ourselves an opportunity to heal.

Choose a Supportive Provider 

Whoever you are working with during the cremation or funeral planning process, it’s important that you ensure that they are supportive. While it may seem like an insignificant attribute, ensuring that you are working with a supportive provider will not only make sure that they are able to have the process run as smoothly as possible, but it will also provide you a safe space to really take your time while planning without the pressure of having to appear normal. A supportive provider should be considerate during your feelings during this time and be able to assist you without getting impatient or frustrated.

Grief Counselor 

Another useful tool that you have at your disposal are grief counselors. Luckily, grief counselors can be acquired quite easily, especially if you have access to the internet. Simply google some counselors near you or search on social media platforms such as Facebook. Social media a really helpful tool to use to look for grief counselors as the site has multiple opportunities for communication as well as grief support groups as well. Additionally, if you are struggling to find a grief counselor on your own, then we recommend posting a Facebook status asking people for any recommendations they may have.
