Dealing with Deaths

One of the hardest things that can happen in your life is the death of a person that you love, I myself understand the feeling of what it is like to cope with death, as recently I have lost my 19 month old godson, it was one of the most traumatic times in my life, watching someone whom you have loved since you first saw them slowly slip away from you, not being able to help them, it may be hard to accept that the one you love has died, but with time it will sink in and you will grow to accept the passing of the person.

It is best to be well organised after the death, talk to your family as a whole reassuring each other about life in general and that you will be ok, here are some steps to take:

Get in contact with your local vicar or reverend to inform him of the situation and begin the process of choosing a date and a plot within the grave yard, remember it is your funeral to arrange so they will understand if you have specific requests such as music to be played.

Once the body has be transferred to the chapel of rest, say your final farewells the sooner the better because obviously the body will not stay the same day to day and it may upset you more to see their body in a poor state.

Choose whom will be the service provider for the funeral for example if you use the coop funeral services you will be able to have one bill instead of loads of bills, they provide the transport for the body be it a car a horse and carriage or a bike etc, as well as this they also provide the flower arrangement if you wish to have these (in most cases this is so).

You may have funds saved away for your loved ones, consider using these funds to make one great final jester to them as funerals usually cost around 1000+ pounds for the full service but can cost a lot more dependant on your individual needs.

The best way to start to get over someone is to have faith in afterlife, as I see it energy cannot be destroyed it can be split apart turned into something else but it cannot be destroyed and we are made up of energy so therefore we cannot die, we live on in a different and more free form.
