When I am dead
Cry for me a little
Think of me sometimes
But not too much.
Think of me now and again
As I was in life
At some moments
It’s pleasant to recall
But not for long.
Leave me in peace
And I shall leave you in peace
And while you live
Let your thoughts be with the living.
Indian Funeral Prayer
Grief is natural and normal and is the response to the experience of significant loss. There is no way of knowing how one will react in times of grief until faced with the journey of grief. Coping with grief is never easy and it is never a journey that we want to face, but most will experience some kind of loss in this journey we call life.
Those who have loved deeply have the privilege of the journey of grief.
For some the emotions of grief can fall upon them in rapid progression, anger, denial, loss, sadness, fear or numbness. Others journey slowly and feelings like of loneliness and sadness can last for longer periods. It is important to care for yourself or those you love who are experiencing grief in the best way possible.
Swanborough Funerals have our own recommended grief specialist available to our clients either at our Office in Browns Plains or at Gary’s private practice.
