TIME ENOUGH
One cultural roadblock that stands in the way of proper grieving is that many of us have abandoned the traditions that in the past gave us the opportunity to publicly share our grief. As a result, we find ourselves with less permission to express our grief and be supported by the community. In contrast, some cultures and religions shun all activity by the bereaved for a week or two or longer. For instance, in the Jewish religion, grieving individuals sit “shivah” for a week while friends and family bring food. This socially sanctioned approach relieves grieving individuals of mundane, daily concerns and allows them to focus on their feelings. Unfortunately, modem corporate settings do not always make the same allowances.
We need to make time for ourselves when we are grieving which can be enormously difficult to do. At the Moser Funeral Home, we urge you to seek out family and friends for support when you have lost a loved one. Leave the logistical details to us, and get yourself the comfort you need. We always are here to listen and offer our compassionate support. Call 347-3431 (233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton) 24 hours a day.
“Death must simply become the discreet but dignified exit of a peaceful person from a helpful society that is not tom without pain or suffering, and ultimately without fear. “ ~ Phillipe Aries
