The Burden Of Loss

By Kenneth Braddy


As we exist, we nosh death. Death is the perceptible end that every individual is destined to experience. According to the world-famous Japanese author, Haruki Murakami, death isn't the opposite of life but innate part of it. It is a truth that we can't change. Consequently when we undergo a death of relative, friend, family member, colleague or a loved-one it creates a excruciating impact in our lives. The type of sorrow and pain that's too deep, neither sincerity nor kindness can cure. Nonetheless, we do not have an alternative but to endure the course and learn something from it. Grieving is a process that allows us to reflect and in the end be at peace enough to go on.

A Swiss American psychiatric consultant, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross started more than a few researches about near death experiences, death and dying and she came up with the popular "Five Stages of Grief". She defined that there are five fundamental stages of grief on the other hand, a person who is grieving does not necessarily go through all the phases nor in precise order.

The acronym of the five stages of grief is DABDA. Letter D stands for denial. At this phase, denial is the temporary defence mechanism which is either conscious or unconscious. Letter A is for anger. At this phase, the person experiences a strong emotion of rage and it's oftentimes usual to blame oneself to free tension from the event. Letter B is for bargaining. At this phase, the person is experiencing strong emotions of hope that it is possible to bargain or postpone the recent loss, sickness or death. Letter D is for depression. At this point, the person experiences sorrow, doubts and terror. The last letter A stands for acceptance. At this point, the person progressively accepts the passing and starts to move on.

As human beings, we have high regards our cherished-ones, in relationship to that, we do a funeral home Singapore ceremony to reminisce the life of the person who departed. Funeral home in Singapore delivers a comprehensive coverage and concern concerning the culture, beliefs, practices and religion of the departed. As a matter of fact, funeral home Singapore like Mount Vernon Singapore regards the religion of dead people by offering culture sensitive rites like Buddhist, Taoist, Christian or Catholic funeral rites services.

Without a shadow of doubt, losing a loved one can be emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually distressing. So preparing for the funeral is quite overwhelming. These days, funeral planners have been geared up to provide a decent, peaceful and beautiful funeral ritual. This includes doctor's documentation of death, carrying of the departed's cadaver to the funeral home, sale and servicing of casket (for cremation or burial), clothes for the departed also referred to as Shou Yee, funeral vehicle, ceremonial practices and ceremonies, floral decoration, food services and photography remembrance.
