There is a growing collection of funeral poems. During this traumatic and emotionally overwhelming time, we will also be faced with making the arrangements necessary for funeral services.
Grief is much easier to deal with when you have a faith filled hope that a deceased loved one is connected to God and you in a relationship that may have changed, but has not ended. This is a sad time for all but when people come together to help each other in times of need, it will bring you all closer together and ease the stress on everyone. You will undoubtedly find clues as to the type of music the deceased most enjoyed and even particular albums, tapes, and CDs by specific artists.
It is important to sit down, take a deep breath and write down a few points you can make. This is a great way for those that are able to express their feelings on paper to do so and share those words to help heal the grief experienced by other family members as well. A poem for the deceased that prompts that thought is invaluable after a loved one has died.
As hard as it may seem right now, it gets better. Don't worry if it runs just a bit longer, take a deep breath and try to relax.
