How to Cope When Burial Ceremonies Have Been Postponed Due to Winter Weather

Posted by: Kelly Ryan in Grief and Guidance | November 22, 2022

Obviously, there is no good time for a loved one to pass. The ability to cope with that loss is different for everybody, but it is all made harder when winter weather prohibits a burial service until months later. How does one grieve without the sense of some closure that a burial service provides is a difficult question to answer that would satisfy everyone. We certainly experienced this during the Covid-19 pandemic, when services were routinely postponed due to being unable to gather together.

While virtual services helped during the pandemic, for many not having their loved one in their final resting place suspends their ability to be able to move forward. For many, however, it may still be a long wait. When my aunt passed away during the pandemic, we lost her in October of 2021 and weren’t able to gather at her burial service until April of this year. For our family, those six months seemed like forever and moving forward without my aunt in her final resting place seemed like six years.

We all grieve differently, so as a family during those six months we stayed in touch, keeping each other up to date on how we were coping and some of the things we did to manage the grieving process. Some of us just kept the pain inside, as we found out later and we knew that was especially difficult. Others read books on grieving and utilized helpful ideas on how best to manage. Some of us came up with ways none of us were familiar with, and those ideas helped us too.

Start Writing

One of those ideas was to just start writing about our aunt – what we wanted to say to her that we hadn’t said before she passed, what we wanted to say at her burial service or just to express our thoughts on a daily basis. During our family updates, we’d exchange what we’d written, detailing our feelings and how we were coping with our aunt’s passing. It helped tremendously, not just the writing of our own thoughts, but hearing what our family members wrote as well.

Organize Outings Around Things They Loved to Do

My aunt was a florist, who loved nature, plants and trees. Every few weeks, we’d meet at the local arboretum or one of her favorite parks, depending on the weather and spend time with the flora and fauna, one of her favorite things to do. For many of us, we’d never accompanied our aunt on these trips, because just a walk through her backyard usually turned into a dissertation on roses, tulips and geraniums. But being able to go to the places she loved to visit the most that were not in her backyard turned out to be a soothing balm for us.

Keep Their Charitable Endeavors Going

Our aunt spent one day a month at the local food bank, on behalf of her church, sorting food, helping to organize donations and working with local residents to ensure the food was received by those in need. We were so heartened how many people, from her church and the food bank to those who regularly received needed food, told us how kind and caring our aunt was. That was something we didn’t expect – we knew she was someone of great character, but we had no idea the impact she’d had on others. To hear the stories of our aunt, and how she touched their lives, was such a great comfort to all of us. And we felt our own sense of impact by taking up our aunt’s charitable endeavors where she left off.

Seek Professional Help

After our aunt passed, two of her children started talking to grief counselors, which was a great help to them. There are many professional services for people to lean on to help with the grieving process and as is often the case, your company’s employee assistance plan covers grief counseling. When grief gets too much to handle on your own, grief counseling can really help.

Actually i lost the sum of $395k worth of Bitcoins to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform just few months back, i had saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency platform to make huge profits from our investments and i contacted the broker online who pretended to help guide me through the whole process with the trading firm, i invested a hugely both my retirement savings and business money into this platform not realizing it was all a scam to steal away my hard earned money that i have worked over the years for. we got going but when it was time for me to withdraw this broker continued to request more money until i was totally broke and in debt, it felt as if I’m losing my life because i couldn’t imagine starting life over from the scratch. Fortunately for me, i saw an article about ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM well i was not in a hurry to contact them as i had to do some research about their services and found out they could help me recover back my money from these scammers, I contacted ROOTKITS FIRM through their following contact details ( ROOTKITS 4 @ G MA I L . C O M / Telegram; ROOTKITS7 ) as was listed on the reviews i read about them and in a space of 72 hours, this firm was able to recover all my money lost to this company, they did a thorough investigation with the information i provided them and ensured that every penny was returned to my wallet, I’m forever thankful to this firm for helping me so much.

I have been praying so hard to be a lottery winner so I did a research online when I saw testimonies of how Lord Bubuza reveal lottery winning numbers after casting his lottery spells so I immediately contacted him for help via WhatsApp: +1 920 474 6543, he told me that a lottery spell will be cast and he will reveal the lottery numbers to me, I provided his requirements to cast the lottery spell and he gave me the lottery numbers so I bought a $10 Multiplier Mania ticket from a Newport BP gas station on Main Street and played the numbers. I couldn’t hold back my tears when I realized that I won the $1 million prize, I just dropped to my knees and hit the floor. Lord Bubuza is a great psychic, Sharon Culpepper is my name and I lack words to appreciate him so I made a vow to myself that I will testify about him. Join me and thank him via email: Lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail . com or WhatsApp:: +1 920 474 6543

Good day everyone on the internet. Dr Ughulu is a powerful and wonderful man on this earth. I lost my father one months ago and we were ready to celebrate his funeral so he can rest in peace. So I and my siblings were making a preparation for the burial ceremony, but at that moment I was broke and I have no funds on me for the funeral, so i decided to go online for a lottery search and when I was doing that i saw a comment on Facebook about how someone testified Dr. Ughulu for helping him win a Mage Million and he became a millionaire. So I cried to dr and explained my problem to him and he promised to help me win the Mega Millions lottery game which he did and send me the six winning numbers. I played the winning numbers and I was the first winner to get a text. Can you imagine Dr Ughulu made me win $335 Million Dollars. Everything happened in 24 hours after he finished casting the lottery spell for me. Help me thank Dr Ughulu for his good work well done in my life and family. I paid all the bills for my late father’s funeral. Call/Text number: +1(252409-1841 or email: drughulupowerfulspelltemple@gmail.com or website: https://drughulupowerfulsp.wixsite.com/my-site-ughulu

I recently found my missing money, wow, I have no idea how I got here. I invested $17,000 with a Bitcoin Bonus last month. It was initially going well until I attempted to exit. I was unable to accomplish this from my own wallet, but I was still able to see how rapidly my profit was increasing every day, which really surprised me. My entire strategy was to leverage their funds and income to get a new vehicle. Last month, Mr Brien Stone and his team saved my life. I read favorable testimonials about how they assisted folks in recovering their lost money. I was able to recover all of my lost money from the con artists thanks to them. I have to admit that I would definitely recommend this team for people who are in need to recover their money from thieves as I was.
The email I contacted will be included below.
