While recently watching one of my favorite shows (Only Murders in the Building) there was a scene where Charles has one of his dearest friend's ashes on him. He sits there trying to figure out how to remove the ashes from his hands while still maintaining respect for her.
It was a funny scene in the irrationality of it, but it also made my heart squeeze thinking about the things we do in grief that seem irrational to others, but in reality they are quite meaningful and rational to the one that is grieving.
Grief has strange moments where you are still here trying to navigate the loss, but also still trying to hold on to what was. It is the moment where you realize this is goodbye (topside) and you grapple with what you should do to close the chapter. Perhaps you had time to plan with your loved one what they wanted after their passing and you are in the process of executing those plans. But what happens when it is an abrupt loss? What do you do to remember them and make a lasting memory that takes away the agony of it being so sudden without a " proper goodbye?"
Here at Memory Eternal we can help with the planning of ways to honor your loved ones, and we can help you navigate sudden loss as well. We work together for you to find a peace with passing even if it seems irrational to others, we know it might just be the most rational thing during this time and we are here to support you.
