After the death of the elderly, the family should pay attention to these things
Life is like a long journey, and we are accompanied by our loved ones on this journey, sharing laughter and tears. However, when a loved one passes away, especially the elderly in the family, we not only have to bear the pain of losing a loved one, but also have to face a series of tedious affairs. After the death of the elderly, the family does need to pay attention to many things in order to properly handle the aftermath, remember the deceased, and gradually get out of the grief.
I distinctly remember that it was a sunny morning, the sun was shining on the windowsill, and the air was filled with the faint scent of flowers. However, this beautiful morning was broken by a phone call - the father was gone, and he left this world quietly. When I heard the news, I was instantly stunned, and an indescribable grief welled up in my heart.
In the midst of my grief, I knew I had to pick myself up and deal with my father's funeral. I first contacted my siblings in the family to discuss how to arrange the funeral. Everyone said that they would come to see my father off in person, which made me feel a little comforted.
In the process of preparing for the funeral, I encountered many challenges. The first is to choose the right funeral home and cemetery. I searched the Internet for a lot of information, consulted with relatives and friends, and hoped to find a place with good value for money and elegant environment. After much comparison, I finally settled on a tree-lined cemetery for my father to rest in peace.
As I prepared my funeral belongings, I looked through the photos of my father before his death and reminisced about the time I spent with him. I picked one of the photos of him smiling brightest as a posthumous portrait. At the same time, I also prepared his favorite flowers and incense candles, hoping that these can accompany him through his final journey.
On the day of the funeral, relatives and friends came to bid farewell to my father. Everyone sat together, reminiscing about their father's life and sharing each other's feelings. At that moment, I felt the warmth and strength of family affection. At the farewell ceremony, on behalf of my family, I expressed my gratitude for my father's dedication and care during his lifetime, and expressed my deep thoughts about him.
However, the end of the funeral does not mean the end of everything. In the days that followed, we also had to deal with my father's belongings, sort out his property, and go through the relevant procedures. Although these trivial matters are cumbersome, we must face them one by one and handle them properly.
In the process of disposing of the relics, I discovered many treasures from my father's life. There are photographs of him when he was younger, letters to his family that he wrote by hand, and stamps and coins that he treasured for many years. These items make me miss my father even more and make me cherish the time I spent with him even more.
I had some difficulties while sorting out my property. The father's property involves many aspects such as real estate, deposits, stocks, etc., which need to be carefully checked and liquidated. I consulted professionals, consulted the relevant laws and regulations, and finally successfully completed the division and inheritance of the property.
I also had some trouble going through the relevant procedures. It is necessary to go to multiple departments to complete certificates and procedures, and sometimes there is a need to wait in line. Although the process is tedious, I know that this is the last respect for my father and a manifestation of my own responsibility.
In the process, I deeply realized how many things family members need to pay attention to after the death of an elderly person. In addition to dealing with the aftermath and relics, we also need to pay attention to our emotional and mental health. The loss of a loved one is a huge blow, and we need to give ourselves enough time to adjust and accept this fact. At the same time, we also need to actively seek psychological support and help in order to better overcome our grief.
In addition, we need to pay attention to the emotions and needs of other family members. The loss of a loved one affects not only us personally, but also the entire family. We need to support and help each other in this difficult time. In this process, we will cherish each other's feelings more, and we will also be stronger and braver.
Looking back on this experience, I know that there are far more things that the family needs to pay attention to after the death of the elderly. But no matter how many difficulties and challenges we encounter, we must face them with strength and deal with them properly. Because we know that this is the best farewell to the deceased, and it is also the best explanation for ourselves and our families.
Now, whenever I walk to the tree-lined cemetery and see my father lying there quietly, I feel a faint sadness in my heart. But I know that life will go on, and we will continue to move forward with the thoughts and memories of our father.
In this process, I also gradually understood a truth: life is impermanent, and cherishing the present is the most important thing. We should cherish every moment with our loved ones and feel the beauty and warmth of life with our hearts. At the same time, we must also learn to face life and death, and meet the challenges of the future with courage and strength.
Therefore, when the elderly person passes away, the family members must pay attention to these matters. Don't let yourself get caught up in grief, but face it positively and deal with it properly. In this way, we can better remember the deceased, and we can gradually move out of our grief and embrace life again.
In closing, I would like to say that no matter how many difficulties and challenges we encounter in life, we must maintain a grateful heart. We would like to thank our relatives and friends who have accompanied us through the journey of life, and thank them for their love and support. At the same time, we should also cherish the people in front of us, love and accompany them with our hearts, and let each other's lives be full of love and warmth.
Because in this world, there is nothing more precious than love and affection. What we can do is to feel, cherish, and pass on this love and warmth with our hearts.
