Ways Memorials Can Help You Feel Better After Loss

Loss is always difficult, no matter who has died or what stage of life you’re in. But even though grief can feel overwhelming, you can find healing through a thoughtful memorial that honors the life, legacy, and love of the person you miss.

Keep reading to learn more about four of the most common ways memorials can help you feel better after loss—and how you can customize one that is meaningful to you.

Memorials Give You a Tangible Connection to Your Late Loved One

After a Loved One dies, we crave feeling close to them again. Memorials can offer that tangible connection once again. Having a physical reminder of your Loved One that you can touch gives you the opportunity to hold onto their memory. That’s what makes Fingerprint Memorials so special. Each time you feel the lines and grooves of your Loved One’s fingerprint engraved on your memento, you’ll know that they are still with you.

Memorials are a Reminder of Shared Love

Memorials are about more than just the absence of your Loved One—they also serve as a celebration of the love you shared for so many years. When you see the memorial, you’ll be reminded of the joy, laughter, and bond that made up your relationship. This will help you to make an effort to reflect on the good times, which can help you begin to heal in a healthy way.

Memorials Help You Share Your Loved One’s Story

A vital part of the grief process is sharing stories about your Loved One with other family members and friends. Memorials can help you do this by acting as a conversation starter. Show your best friend the Pendant engraved with your sister’s fingerprint or talk to a co-worker about the Lapel Pin you had engraved with your dad’s fingerprint. When you do, you’ll be able to share the impact they had on your life with those around you. This is a beautiful way to honor their story while keeping their memory alive.

Memorials Provide a Sense of Closure

Memorializing a Loved One is an important part of the grieving process, as it can allow you to find closure. As you create a memorial for your Loved One, you’ll start processing your grief and saying goodbye. You’ll be able to understand that your Loved One may be gone, but they are still forever with you—just in a different way. By honoring your Loved One’s life through a memorial, you get to acknowledge their significance and begin to find peace in the knowledge that their impact will continue through your memories and stories.

Create Your Own Custom Memorial

Creating a custom memorial tailored to your Loved One can be a therapeutic process. It allows you to think about what made your Loved One special, and honor that through the memento you choose. The more personal you make the memorial, the more meaningful it will be to you as you begin to feel better after loss.
