Grief- Holding On & Letting Go of Cremation Ashes

Is a pile of collected Urns and Boxes what you intend on leaving as the legacy of your family when you pass away?

The grieving process seems never ending. People mourn in different ways. It takes time to be able to finally let go of the pain while also not forgetting and becoming able to celebrate the past. While many people are able to find a sense of closure after going through the funeral or memorial services or just a gathering of people reminiscing in tribute, some are not able to let go. The process of planning and contacting people, and speaking with relatives keeps the mind and schedule busy, and in a sense, keeps your loved one alive. After the services are over and what is called “normal life” resumes all around you, it can be the most difficult of times.

Letting go is something unfortunately some find they simply cannot do, especially when cremation is involved. Unless the ashes were placed in a formal memorial they often get carried around or stored away, even in a closet. Unfortunately this is common with a loved family pet as well. Leaving some of us to become “bone collectors” so to speak. If this is you, you know that letting go is part of the process of healing. Letting go is also one of the hardest things to do.
