THE BENEFIT OF
FORGIVENESS
By failing to forgive, people continue to suffer damage that goes beyond the original wrong. This fact was recently brought home by a study in which volunteers were asked to think about someone who had hurt them. As a result of being prompted to dwell on their resentment, the wronged subjects showed signs of greater physiological and emotional stress, such as increased blood pressure and heart rate. Even after the subjects were asked to forget about the incident, the signs of physical stress continued. Conversely, when they were asked to forgive the people who hurt them, the volunteers fell happier and more in control. Forgiving does not involve excusing the wrongdoing, but focusing on the humanity of the wrongdoer.
Loss is simply a part of life. That doesn't mean we have to like it, but those who seek a meaningful life often embrace this truth to better savor the time they have, rather than trying to prevent the losses that affect us all. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue in Warrenton, we understand the various ways folks deal with grief - which means we know how to help and we listen well. You can visit Bright View Cemetery, which is located just outside Warrenton. Call us at 540-347-3431.
