Our loved ones are a big part of our lives and influence every aspect of it. We form deep and personal connections with each other and experience a considerable amount of pain if that connection gets lost. This pain is especially evident during the holiday season because this is the time for celebration with friends and family. It’s hard to feel the absence of a deceased loved one during family gatherings and parties, and that can make grieving difficult. Here are some ways in which you can deal with this grief during the holiday season:
There’s no standard timeline or pace when it comes to grief. Some people adjust to the loss in a couple of months while others take several years to truly come to terms with it. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve as long as long as there’s no harm caused to you or others. Take your time and if you don’t feel like celebrating the holidays, don’t. Just step away for a while and most of your family and friends will give you some space.
One of the most difficult aspects of dealing with holiday celebrations is the memories of spending time with the deceased loved one. The memories of experiencing the same traditions and social events with your loved one can cause a lot of pain. A great way to move past that is to create new memories. You can take a trip away from your home and explore other places during the holidays. If that’s not possible, go out with friends who are not connected to the loss. That will help you create great memories as well.
Replace traditions that you carried out with your loved ones with new traditions. For example, you can tick things off their bucket list, donate to charity in their name, watch movies or plays that you enjoyed with your deceased loved one, etc. New traditions can help you heal and remember, which can take the sting of their absence away for a while.

Funerals are difficult for everyone. The decedent’s family and friends are in deep mourning and can react negatively or feel pain at any perceived slight. It’s important to keep their feelings in mind and make sure you don’t do anything to offend them. At Franklin H. Rainear, we recommend the etiquette tips mentioned below:
Try to arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes before the funeral is due to start because you don’t want to disrupt the ceremony. Arriving early gives you time to find your seat, settle in, and even converse with the grieving relatives for a while. If you’re late despite your best efforts to avoid it, don’t draw attention to yourself. Slip in quietly and find a seat in the back row.\
Don’t wear casual jeans, t-shirts, short-skirts, and bright clothing. It’s generally acceptable to wear black and dress in formal clothes. Men should wear suits with white or black shirts and women should wear black dresses or suits.
Most people stumble over their words and don’t know how to offer condolences. It’s not uncommon for people to say something unintentionally hurtful. The best way to avoid this to keep it simple with an “I’m sorry for your loss and is there anything I can do to help.”
Switch your mobile phone off or keep it on silent mode before you enter the funeral home. Don’t attend to any calls, reply to messages, or even excuse yourself to take a call unless there’s a real emergency.

A eulogy is an expression of gratefulness and grief and a final goodbye in honor of a deceased person’s memory. It isn’t very easy to speak before all the people attending the service, especially since you haven’t had the time to come to terms with your loss. But eulogies offer comfort to family and friends, which is why they are so important. At Franklin H. Rainear, Jr., Affordable Funeral Service & Cremation, LLC, we encourage families to consider saying eulogies for their dear departed. Some pointers you can keep in view include:
Writing a eulogy can’t be rushed. You need to take some quiet time away from all the hustle and bustle associated with a death in the family, to think about what you want to say. Focus on the interactions you have had with the person when he/she was alive and think about the things you want to share. It's important to get into the right mindset while writing a eulogy.
Rather than stating the successes and achievements of the decedent, shine the spotlight on the more personal aspects. The thoughts you share should have a more personal touch and you can talk about some special traits or habits that the person had.
Talk about their favorite music, quotes, movies, etc. These types of personal stories and anecdotes give the eulogy more meaning and depth.
You can talk briefly about the person’s career, education, and achievements. List things the person was especially proud of. For instance, if they worked very hard to achieve something, make a point to mention it. You can also speak of milestones such as professional successes, marriage, kids, and more

Many people wonder whether they should attend a funeral or not. Funerals allow family and friends to say their final goodbyes to the deceased person. Everyone associated with the decedent has some responsibility & right to be present there. Here are certain tips that can help you decide whether you should go or should not go to a funeral:
If you are still in a quandary about whether you should or shouldn’t attend the funeral, just give a thought to how you would feel a couple of years down the line. Some people that skip the service end up regretting their decision at some point in the future. This is why it’s far better to attend the funeral, rather than regret it at a later date.

When a loved one breathes their last breath, one of the very first things you need to do is contact a funeral director. This professional may run their own funeral home or could be part of an organization that provides different types of funeral services. A funeral director may handle a number of different things for a grieving family such as:
In addition, the funeral director will also handle other aspects such as determining whether the body should be buried, entombed or cremated. Since different cultures and religions follow varying funeral practices, this becomes a crucial aspect of the job. While some of these aspects may be managed by the family members, the funeral director will help them prepare the obituary notices and arrange for the pallbearers,

Death is intimidating, mysterious, and frightening. Most are hesitant to think about their own demise and what will happen after it. That can lead to a lot of problems later, especially if there are some conflicts in the family left behind. At Franklin H. Rainear, Jr., Affordable Funeral Service & Cremation, we encourage people to have an end-of-life conversation with their loved ones and here’s why:
Discussing death, especially if it is imminent or likely to happen can help with recovery, reducing pain to some extent. The demise isn’t abrupt, unexpected, and people are prepared to handle it without becoming overwhelmed.
Sometimes people lose their ability to make decisions before their demise. This can be because they’re not conscious, mentally unfit, or just too weak. In such circumstances, it’s important to appoint a trustworthy person to speak for you. This preparation can be made during end-of-live conversations as well.
Most modern funeral homes provide pre-planning services, so people can carry out funeral preparations in advance. You can choose between a cremation or burial, pick a location, choose a funeral home, and makes sure the end journey is according to your personal preferences. As most pre-planned funerals are paid in advance, the family left behind doesn’t have to bear this burden.
End-of-life discussions should also include dividing assets, funeral properties, and related responsibilities. This ensures there are no conflicts between family members later. Clear instructions drafted with a lawyer’s assistance can reduce the burden on families.

Everyone experiences grief differently and take their time processing it. Some recover within months while others take years. There’s no right or wrong way to experience this, no set patterns or processes to go through for recovery. People have their coping methods so it’s important to give them space. While different individuals have different experiences, most go through common stages of grief. These stages were first established by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross 30 years ago and they are:
When a loved one passes away, those left behind experience disbelief. It takes some time for reality to set in and denial to pass. People will first reject death, especially if it happens without warning.
Anger is an instinctive and healthy response to grief as it is an outlet for all pain locked inside. Bereaved individuals often experience bouts of frustration, rage, and helplessness, which shouldn’t be suppressed.
At this stage, people attempt to determine how they could’ve avoided death. Questions like “did he receive the right treatment” or “should I have taken her to the doctor sooner” or “if they didn’t leave the house”, etc., will plague the mind.
This is where reality and acceptance start to come in. People experience intense pain along with a crushing sense of helplessness. This can last for months, if not years, as people will take their time to recover from it.
This is the final step where individuals accept their loss and look towards their future. They have made peace with a loved one’s demise, which allows them to reflect on the decedent with a positive mindset.

Hospices offer essential care during end of life, helping patients on their final journey so they don’t experience too much discomfort. This essential care can reduce a patient’s stress, help them accept death and experience peace, and also help families deal with the situation with dignity. At Franklin H. Rainear Jr. Affordable Funeral Service & Cremation, we recommend hospice care to all families because of the core philosophy of these establishments. Here’s what you need to know:
Terminally ill patients experience a lot of pain and discomfort during their final days. This is no way to live, especially if you don’t have much time left. Hospices reduce pain through medication, messages, exercises, and other such proven methods. They make sure patients experience as little physical pain as possible.
Most people don’t realize terminally ill patients also experience five stages of grief. They go through denial, anger, helplessness, pain, and acceptance, which can take a significant toll on their mind and emotions. Hospice workers offer unconditional support during this emotional process. They make sure all terminally ill patients have someone to lean on while they struggle with the mental toll of approaching death. Hospice care providers will offer distraction, counseling, and even a friendly ear to help patients.
No one wants to spend their final days regretting or contemplating missed opportunities. Hospice care providers help patients tick off as many bucket list items as they can. This doesn’t just have to be traveling, reading a book, attending a concert, etc. It can also involve mending fences, healing relationships, or reconnecting with loved ones.
A hospice provides peace, comfort, and consistent care to ensure patients live their last few days in dignity.

Not many people feel that they need to pre-plan their funeral and most aren’t comfortable with the process. This is especially true if they are hale and hearty and death is one of the things that’s farthest from their minds. However, there are a number of benefits to pre-planning your funeral.
We at Franklin H. Rainear, Jr. have helped many clients understand what is involved in the process and have assisted with planning their funeral in advance. Take a look at why it is a good idea to pre-plan your funeral:
When someone passes the family goes through stages of shock and grief. Those that are closest to the person undergo a significant amount of stress. If they have to plan the funeral and organize the service, that can only add to this stress. In comparison, if you have preplanned your funeral, your family members only need to contact the respective funeral home. The funeral director there will manage all the nitty-grittys, so your family can focus on the other things they need to.
A pre-planned funeral will be conducted as for your wishes. For instance, if you choose to be cremated rather than buried, the funeral home will ensure that this instruction is followed without any question. There are times when family members have different ideas about how the funeral needs to be conducted. However, your beliefs and opinions will have to be honored when you have pre-planned your funeral.
It isn’t uncommon for funeral expenses to rise over time. When you pre-plan your funeral and pay for in advance, it helps save your family some money. The amount you pay would be based on the agreement that you have with the funeral home, and your family doesn’t have to pay anything at that point in time.

When a loved one passes away, it could be an extremely overwhelming and difficult time for the family and close friends. Aside from this, when it comes to planning the funeral service, there can be a disconnect between what certain family members want and what others don’t.
Some people have very specific ideas when it comes to how they want their funeral service to be handled, after their demise. This is why it becomes important to look for a good way to honor your loved one after their demise.
Sometimes, the details that have been outlined by the person in their will, may be entirely different from what you had wanted for the service. Regardless of what you think, it’s important to focus on what the decedent wanted, and make sure the funeral and the service is in line with their wishes

There’s a crisis in our community caused by opioids and it’s time to stop ignoring the issue. It’s time to raise awareness of this tragedy!
An overdose is having too much of a drug (or combination of drugs) for a body to be able to cope with. All drugs can cause an overdose, including prescription medication prescribed by a doctor. Thousands of people die each year from drug overdoses, from all walks of life.
It is important to know your correct dosage, what drugs should not be mixed, and know to seek help if you feel you are not in control of your drug use.
It’s also critical to be there for your loved ones, neighbors, and community members - provide them the support they need and get them help when necessary.
“We talk about them, not because we’re stuck or because we haven’t moved on, but we talk about them because we are theirs, and they are ours, and no passage of time will ever change that.” – Scribbles & Crumbs
On August 31st, support those dealing with overdose, those who have lost someone due to overdose and to raise awareness for continued funding and research by wearing purple or silver.

The way we eat, drink, love, and cope with stress, depression, anxiety, and sadness all play a big role in the state our mental health is in. Sometimes, it’s necessary to take a step back and ask yourself if you’re doing the right thing for you, and not the easiest thing. And when you start to make unhealthy choices, it’s important to learn how to be strong enough to make changes.
If you’ve recently experienced a loss in your life, you may be tempted to distract yourself by turning to alcohol, drugs, or some other means to dull the pain. But using unhealthy coping mechanisms will not help you. They will only make your pain and stress more acute and will cause damage to other areas of your life in the process. Instead try taking it one day at a time and taking the following steps to process your guilt while remembering your loss.
Death has a funny way of making you focus on the past. When you experience loss, you may immediately start to think of the times you had with your loved one and this is completely normal. If you find those memories are overwhelmed by regret, it may be time to re-evaluate your thinking. You can’t change the past, so it’s more important to think of how you can change your future. Instead of thinking about how you could have been better to the one you loved, think about how you can be better to the people who are still here. Put your heart into improving those relationships to turn your guilt into a positive in your life.
It’s important to stick to a normal routine as much as possible but this should not apply to decision-making. You may have moments of clarity where you feel up to making big changes in your life. You may even think these alterations will help relieve your pain. Know that grief and drastic choices do not mix well together. Whether you feel it or not, your mind is not working efficiently when processing grief, so try and put off any big decisions, like moving or finding a new job, until you are further along in the grieving process.
Take the time you would spend on these decisions and find ways to honor your loved one. Maybe put together a scrapbook of your best times together or visit with their family and share some funny stories. This way you are spending energy on small choices that can relieve your grief and possibly help others as well.
Grief takes time, and everyone experiences the grieving process differently. While grief doesn’t look the same for everyone, there are some common stages you should know. Be aware of how you work through your feelings and know when you are feeling stuck. If you feel like you just can’t move past your grief, after a length of time, it may be time to reach out for help. Share your feelings with someone you love and trust. You can also find a grief support group where you can open up about your feelings and find some resolution. When people grieve they can quickly fall into a depression, so don’t be ashamed to seek professional advice if you start to feel like you just can’t deal with the pain.
Grief can be overwhelming and can take over your life, if you let it. It may be awhile before you feel normal but that doesn’t mean you can’t at least feel like you have control. By being aware of your grief and staying in the present, you can help your heart heal and truly honor your loved one by living your life to the fullest.

Most are moving away from traditional concepts and are opting for more unconventional ideas such as:
If you have very strong ideas about wanting an unconventional funeral service for yourself, you should consider pre-planning your final wishes with a funeral home.
In this service, you would need to have a detailed discussion with the funeral director to plan your own arrangements in the way you want them. If you want an unconventional service, this is one of the best ways to ensure it happens. The decision is entirely yours, and if you don't want to leave the planning up to your loved ones but you still want them involved, you can always bring them along to a meeting with the funeral director to share your ideas and plans. Some family members may be uncomfortable with this, so don't force it too much. Rather extend the invitation and let them know you're ready to discuss your arrangements when they are.

When a loved one passes away, the memories of this person linger for years to come. During festivities, these memories bring back the feeling of the presence of a person around. This also leads to a strong desire to do something in his or her memory.

The digital world has infiltrated every aspect of our lives, and we have a lot of online interactions such as a social media accounts, payments portals, online shopping accounts as well as social media accounts and more that we commonly use. While all of these are conveniences for us, they are digital assets that need to be dealt with correctly after our death.
This is very important because most of these platforms and accounts hold a considerable amount of visual and personal information. If these assets are not dealt with correctly after our death, it can result in any misuse, fraud, identity theft, etc.
It's why digital experts always recommend that you should keep these assets in view at all times and determine precisely how they should be dealt with after your death. The different types of digital assets that exist can include your debit and credit card accounts, any information that you have saved in the cloud as well as your smartphone information.
As mentioned earlier, bank accounts, email accounts, as well as any information that you have saved on payment portals also become your digital assets. A Google account, Apple account, online trading accounts are some of the other avenues where you may have information stored.
It is crucial that you document all of these assets and keep a written record of the account details in a safe location. Make sure that a reliable and trustworthy family member, a very close friend, or even a legal expert has information about where you have stored these details. This information can come in handy when your family members are dealing with assets after your death.

Human beings experience grief in different forms and for various reasons. Grief caused by the death of a loved one is the easiest to understand. Death is final, and the grieving individuals eventually find a way to move on with their lives. However, sometimes, the end and resolution aren't so clear and final. At Franklin H. Rainear Affordable Funeral Service & Cremation, LLC, we understand the importance of dealing with ambiguous grief. Here are some tips that can help:
What is Ambiguous Grief?
Ambiguous grief happens when there’s no closure or resolution. There’s no dead body to bury or ashes to store. People experience this grief when their loved one is alive or when their status is unknown. This happens for many reasons, and here are some of them:
This form of loss has no closure, and people are unable to grieve properly. They are frozen in the denial stage and can't move on with their lives.
How Do You Deal With Ambiguous Grief?

The next step is to find a therapist or join a support group to help you move on. It is also a good idea to celebrate and cherish what you still have.
