Inspuring Theuatits by Randy Minter OVERCOME WITH GRIEF While it is quite normal to experience feelings of numbness and emptiness following the death of a loved one, many survivors have difficulty facing these emotions. Grieving is a necessary and normal response because it is a coping mechanism that helps us to confront and, finally accept our losses. However, if the symptoms of bereavement become excessive, it may be a sign to seek support. We all engage in the grieving process at our own individual pace In time, we come to accept our losses and move to resume our former activities; however, if grievin individuals find that they are having an inordinately difficult time dealing with their losses, they can choose not to face them alone. A funeral service, whether traditional or more modern, has two functions: to bring grieving family members and friends together in support of one another during a difficult time as well as to acknowledge the death and lifetime achievements of an individual. If you are interested in making funeral arrangements for loved one, we invite you to call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431.
