How to remember a loved one after they die.
Welcome back to another blogging week. This week, I’ll be exploring how to remember a loved one after they die, so if you’d like to find out more, then keep reading.
The impact of trauma on the brain
Though I am not a qualified therapist by any means, speaking purely from my own direct experience with trauma and bereavement, I’m sure I speak for others when I say that there are significant changes to memory and general cognitive function at least temporarily when we process trauma and loss.
I myself can relate to feelings of overwhelm, mental exhaustion and the inability to prioritise normal daily tasks.
Overwhelm
When we feel overwhelmed, it can make even the smallest of tasks feel like a mountain to climb.
Even when we make a conscious effort to prioritise what’s important, we can still end up overthinking the smallest of things and sometimes it’s better to just take a step back and breathe.
Memories
When dealing with the loss of someone special, the sad reality for many of us is that horrible memories of their last moments with us or the pain they may have suffered can impact on those happy memories we hold dear to us. It’s easy to become consumed by horrible sad emotions especially when planning funerals, passing death messages and giving information to others.
It’s important for us especially and the legacy of a loved one that once we move past the traumatic stage, we rebuild those precious memories we once had.
If Heaven had a Postcode
‘If Heaven had a Postcode’ was designed to build the everlasting legacy of a loved one.
Not only will it coach you through the sadness of loss and trauma, but it promises to keep you focused on the good times. Clever memory prompts and proven techniques will keep you grounded and help you to reignite happy memories once forgotten, and keep them burning forever.
A customer once told me that it was her ‘Mother’s dying wish was to never be forgotten’, she told me that If Heaven had a Postcode would keep her memory alive forever and fulfil her last and final wish.
