    Hold a Service

    When trying to overcome your grief, it is easy to get swept up in the belief that things will never change for the better. While grief can feel hopeless and useless to fight against at certain points in your grief journey, it’s important that you continue to remind yourself that it is just that –a journey. While some days may be better than others, you may find that when your loved one’s death anniversary comes around, you fall all the way back to square one. If you are tired of the never-ending cycle of almost healing and then reverting back to a grief-stricken person, then it is time you ask yourself some important questions. One of the biggest questions that you’ll want to ask yourself is how you typically choose to spend your loved one’s death anniversary. If you have an answer that involves something like mourning and remaining isolated, then it is no wonder that you’ve never made any significant process in your grief journey. If you are someone who is religious, then we recommend you instead use your loved one’s death anniversary as a day to hold a service in their honor. We recommend doing so in either a church or other house of worship. In this way, you will be able to pay respect to your loved one’s life and memory while also being surrounded by family and friends for emotional support.

     

    Go Through Old Photos and Videosgri

    cremation services in Bradenton, FLIf you think that you’d like to take things a little easier on your loved one’s death anniversary, then we have an option that may appeal to you. Rather than go through the hassle of organizing service in their honor, we recommend spending the day at home and looking through old photos and videos of your loved one. We are certain that this activity will cause you to smile when remembering happier times and memories from the past. Additionally, doing so can give you a much greater appreciation for the present moment, which is always helpful when battling grief. When considering displaying a loved one’s cremains in your home after their cremation service, you’ll want to look into selecting a proper urn ahead of time.

     

    Throw a Dinner

    Throwing a small dinner party with family and friends can also be a great way to stay active and engaged on this important day. We recommend inviting those that you are close with for an evening of good food and conversation!
