Natural Love: Coping With the Loss of a Loved One This Holiday Season

Memorial stepping stoneLosing one or more loved ones is one of the most difficult things anyone can go through. What’s even worse, is coping with the loss when the holiday season rolls around. Each holiday, the pain just resurface once again. Even though we’ll always miss our loved ones who have passed away, there are ways to lessen the pain.

Coping With Grief During the Holidays

One of the worst pain after losing a loved one, is the first holiday after the loss. It’s even more difficult to cope with if the person died during the holiday season. It will take a long time before the pain subsides. Some people hang up a musical wind chime over their loved one’s headstone or in their yard in remembrance of them.

The wind blows the wind chime and the beautiful sound of music floats through the air. It creates a magical feeling, which helps to make you feel closer to your loved ones. You can even personalize them by engraving the person’s name on it.

Merry Christmas From Heaven Tree Ornament

Decorate your Christmas Tree with a photo ornament of your Mom, Dad or any other loved ones this holiday season. Choose a happy picture that you know will make you smile. These photo ornaments are a great way to remind you that your loved ones are still in your  heart and around you.

You may shed some tears, but those will soon be replaced with joy to know that they are here with you in spirit not only for the holidays, but forever. This is also a great Christmas gift to give someone who has lost a loved one.

Light Your Way Pathway Memorial Garden Stones

Walk Alongside Your Loved Ones

It can be heart-wrenching to lose a parent, and it’s even worst when you have to watch your remaining parent go through the ups and downs of grief. Cheer up your Mom this year with a special memorial necklace, with engraved words of comfort. Better yet, give this to yourself as a gift this Christmas, or you can make this a double gift for both you and your mom, which will make this sentimental memorial gift even more special.
