Active Lifestyles A bi-monthly feature celebrating the wisdom, experience, and contributions of our community’s senior citizens www.madisonmessengernews.com March 24, 2024 - MADISON MESSENGER - Page 7 PAID ADVERTISING Pre-planning final wishes is a healing gift to family Losing a loved one is a crushing experience. It knocks the wind out of you so much it’s hard to think. It’s ironic that when we are grief stricken and overwhelmed, we must make some of the most difficult decisions like how to honor our loved one, one final time. Writing an obituary, planning a service, and choosing a monument can seem unwieldy PAID ADVERTISING Service aids with process of grieving Should I have a funeral? A memorial service? A celebration of life? While holding a formal service may seem like an outdated ritual to many, it can hold many benefits for friends, family, and others left to mourn a loss. Dr. Alan Wolfelt, a renowned author and expert on grief, identifies six benefits a service can offer to those who are mourning: • acknowledgement of the reality of death; • encouraging grief expression; • offering testimony to honor the life of the deceased; • allowing for faith expression; • providing support to those grieving; • offering hope. Each grief journey is unique, and while everyone will start and progress at their own pace, often times the start of the mourning process can be the most difficult part. Having a set time together to remember a loved one lost, gather support from family, friends, and the community, and being able to express your emotions in a safe space can all aid in starting your grief journey off on the right foot. Keeping in mind that not every service is religious, remembrance and honoring a life can take many different forms. Whether this is a traditional casketed service, a memorial service for cremation, or even a celebration of life, having that designated time can do wonders in helping heal from a loss. What that service looks like is entirely up to you and your family and what seems right to honor your loved one. While losing a loved one is never easy, having this experience can act as a rite of passage prescribing a start to healing and transforming our relationship with our lost loved one into one full of hope for the future. in those moments. What if you never discussed those things? What if you are not sure what they’d like, or your family members disagree? What if the costs are not within your budget? These challenges could be eliminated by preplanning. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the median cost of a traditional funeral today is $7,640, before cemetery and headstone costs. Inclusive of them, it can be a $10,000 investment or more. Making final plans is a wonderful gift to a family. It not only protects loved ones from unplanned expenses, it takes the guesswork and stress out of making important decisions during an emotional time. Today, it is possible to plan, design, and pay for everything up front from the service, burial, and headstone. In fact, companies like Modlich Monument Company can produce a headstone in advance, adding final touches at the passing of a loved one. Pre-planning gives the family time to research options, talk and include personal details that adds a special touch. Pre-planning also locks in the cost and removes the financial burden from survivors, a gift they will truly appreciate. Presented by Modlich Monument, Family owned since 1936.
