Benefits Of A Virtual Memorial Website

By Mary Roberts


When someone you love dies, the heartbreak is usually too much to handle. Some people can handle it better while others cannot. Others even start developing PTSD and succumb to depression. This happens because most people live in denial. When you accept that your loved one has departed and you will never see him/her again, you will be able to handle your stress and trauma better. That is why it is important to create online sites that can help you remember your loved one. These sites are usually for the purpose of remembering, celebrating as well as commemorating the deceased. Below is an insight into a virtual memorial website.

These sites are important as they bring people together before and after the burial ceremony. People can start sending their messages at any time they wish. This will make you feel strong as you will not be alone. After the burial ceremony, you can continue posting content on the site as well.

These sites also provide a communication platform or outlet for people who are still grieving. People can thus continue sending their messages when the formal events have come to an end. More so, since the online space is inexpensive or free, the grievers can add any extensive content they wish. They can thus write stories about the deceased and even allow for discussions. More so, these online grieving sites have a small environmental impact compared to other memorials.

By continued posting on the wall, the memories of the deceased are kept alive. Thus, people can continue to post anything they wish on the wall all year. Also, posting pictures and messages on the birthdays of the deceased and during holidays and special occasions helps in staying connected to them. This way, you feel stronger every day.

These online grieving sites also give the bereaved the ability to go through the comments and pictures when they are feeling low. This helps them to remember the good memories they had with the deceased. Having a continued bond and expressing your feelings towards your departed loved one is therapeutic and can help you feel emotionally stronger.

If you have been left behind by a loved one and you would like to create an online site to honor him/her, the steps that you should follow are straight forward. The first thing that you should do is selecting the platform you would like to use. After that, write the story you want to tell about your loved one and post it on the site.

The second step is to invite friends and family to like the site. You can invite them through Facebook or email. You can also invite your co-workers if you wish. These people will contribute to the page by sharing their memories with your loved one. This is important as you will not feel alone.

After that, post pictures and share them with all the invited people. Do not restrain the people you have invited from sharing their memories and images as well. Allow them to post anything on your wall. This will help a lot as you will feel strong and supported.
