Coming to terms with a loss in your life is an extremely difficult thing to do. Many people struggle to overcome the loss and face reality due to how much their loved one’s death has affected their life. If you are struggling to get past a loss, then it is important to first remind yourself that you are not alone. Plenty of people lose people that they love every day and for each person grief is a completely unique and different journey. One of the most helpful things to keep in mind throughout your grief journey is that your progress will differ from most others because it is a unique journey. One of the most beneficial ways that people use to overcome a tough loss in their life is by creating a memorial space within their home. Now, while a memorial space will not bring back your loved one, it can do a lot for the healing process and for bringing about a greater sense of peace surrounding a loved one's death. If you are interested in creating a memorial space within your home, then the first thing that you will need to gather are photographs for the memorial space. We recommend looking through any old photo albums that you may have for pictures of the deceased. Additionally, we suggest choosing photos that really demonstrate who your loved one was in life and how they lived their life. If you are struggling to find enough photos for your memorial space, then we recommend asking family and friends to come over and provide photos that they may have as well.
The Space
After you've spent some time collecting all the photos that you wish to include to your loved ones memorial space, it is then time to select a space within your home for the memorial. While many people may opt to use their living room as their memorial space, the options are virtually endless. We recommend taking a walk throughout your home to assess which areas may be best for your memorial space. We suggest choosing a space that you visit often and that others visit as well. In doing so, the memory of your loved one continues to live on.
Decorations
After you've come up with the photos for your loved ones memorial space as well as the room for the memorial as well, it is then time to decorate the space however you choose. From mementos, keepsakes, or jewelry, anything can be included in this space!
