This is so true...I have dealt with my Mom's passing everyday for the past year...doesnt seem to get any easier. My Aunt said it best...you never get over the loss you just learn how to live without them.
I wonder about this, especially if survivors are still young children. Maybe if it is the only way they see death handled it won't matter. But how people deal with grief and loss remains, and has been studied by the social sciences. For all of us pondering how we handle our demise, we have to remember it is not just about us, but how the people we leave behind carry on. They won't soon forget us, despite our wishes that they party to celebrate our lives and then go on with life. Closure can take years. I certainly don't have the answers, and even cremation for us may not sit well with our kids. We must all remember though, not to be cavalier about death. It is real and painful for those left behind, and we should be helpful in our efforts to make it easier for them to cope. For some, it may be a place they can go, something tangible they can see, something they can touch. Memories are the most valuable, but other things can help ease the sorrow.
