While it may seem unusual, gifting someone with a cremation urn or cremation accessory can be very helpful in the time of great pain and distress that follows a death. People in mourning don’t always have the energy to think clearly about the minute details surrounding them; often too caught up in their grief to worry about what color urn to purchase or what design or personalization to choose. Those picky decisions are insignificant compared to the loss they’re still learning to process, and rightly so! Death is the most difficult thing a person can experience. People have been known to break down over what would normally be an easy choice – their grief making each task insurmountable.
One of the largest issues with the occurrence of death is the fear people tend to have about discussing it and offering comfort. Most people feel that ignoring someone’s grief and “giving them privacy” is the best option when that couldn’t be further from the truth. When someone has experienced a loss, it’s helpful to talk about their loved one; to talk about their life, their habits, their funny stories regarding the deceased. It’s so beneficial to work through the difficult emotions which comprise grief for the sake of one’s mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
