THE FIRST YEAR
It is no wonder that traditional mourning rituals usually last for one year. The first year after the death of a loved one is filled with “firsts” without that person, such as the first birthday, anniversary, holiday, or the anniversary of the death itself. While there is no timetable for getting over a loss, there are phases of grief that each person should attend to in his or her own time. Only by going through the entire grieving process can we expect to overcome loss. In Samuel Johnson's words, “While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.”
As those who work with those who grieve, we are sensitive to the wide range of feelings folks experience when they are saying goodbye to one they love. We stand near you to offer comfort and assistance where we can. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we urge you to ask us about prearrangements which can provide a sense of security for you and your family. You can reach us 24 hours a day at 347-3431. (233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton).
“If the internal griefs of every man could be read, written on his forehead, how many who now excite envy, would appear to be objects of pity?”
