🖤 What is the point of a funeral, anyway? Oleg Vojtíšek spoke about this on TN.CZ.
1️⃣ First, you must realize that the deceased is no longer here, that this is truly the end of their earthly journey. That is the only thing a funeral in a funeral home or crematorium can provide. But nothing more.
2️⃣ A good funeral will help you say what you didn't have time to say or couldn't say.
3️⃣ Come to terms—with death, with the deceased, with relatives, but also with yourself.
4️⃣ Try to seek forgiveness—if I owe something to my late father, I should repay it to his widow or son.
5️⃣ Involve those around you in the grieving process—such as coworkers or neighbors.
6️⃣ And celebrate your loved one’s life—we’ve already acknowledged that they’ve passed away, but now we should celebrate how they lived and how we lived with them.
A good funeral helps you say goodbye, find peace, take a deep breath, and move on. Because the funeral is just the beginning of the grieving process.
