Good to Grieve.
Grief can affect us all during our lives, whether it’s the physical loss of a loved one, or the gradual demise in mental health when a disease such as Alzheimers takes hold, and we find ourselves grieving for the person we once knew.
We all experience grief differently, and handle grief differently, but there’s one thing that’s almost always true, it can’t and shouldn’t be shut away or ignored. It’s healthy to traverse the grieving process, even if that means holding a closure event, such as a memorial or celebration, several years after ones loss. With the impact of Covid, and the increase in popularity of direct cremations, families are missing this essential part of the process, which experts are in no doubt, will continue to negatively impact our lives for many years.
At Mid-England Barrow we can guide you through the planing and holding an event to mark that special person in your lives.
Never too late to say goodbye.
Saying goodbye to a loved one is a deeply personal and important part of the grieving process. It allows us to acknowledge the loss, express our love, share anecdotes, and begin to heal. Sadly, many people were unable to say a proper farewell during the pandemic due to restrictions, and some may feel its too late now that those restrictions have lifted. Whether its been weeks, months, or even years, it;s never too late to say goodbye. If you feel you need that moment of closure, Mid England Barrow offers a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can still say your goodbyes, in your own way and in your own time.
A Time of Quiet Reflection at Mid-England Barrow
On Sunday 9th March we are opening the gates of the Barrow to the public, free of charge, to join us for an afternoon of quiet reflection. If you were unfortunate to loose a loved one during Covid it may be that you’ve never properly journeyed through the grieving process.
Come along to see how we can help you, whether its an opportunity to view the Barrow and Covid memorial, and take in the peaceful surroundings, or hear how we can tailor celebrations or memorials to pay tribute to your loved one.
