I Never Wanted To Say Goodbye

How do you say goodbye to someone you love? Even if they died...it’s almost impossible to say goodbye.

To me...it just seems so final.

Maybe you didn't get a chance to say goodbye because the death was unexpected...and that's something you wish you had the opportunity to do. Maybe it was important to you to say a final farewell.

You may have been one of the lucky ones that got the chance...or one of those people that missed the opportunity because you were feeling uncomfortable accepting that the end was near.

If you didn’t get a chance to say goodbye, or are still struggling with whether you want to say goodbye or not, expressing a farewell can actually help you heal from the loss. In many ways it can bring peace and comfort to you.

If you didn’t get to say goodbye to the person you love before they died, you might be feeling greater pain about their loss. If so, find yourself a private, quiet location. It could be in your house or a place that was special to both of you. Bring an object or photo that symbolizes their life or your memories together. Take this moment to say anything you need to say even if it’s ‘goodbye.’

Here's the thing...I’ll be honest, I never wanted to say goodbye...and I still haven’t said it.

Instead, I said, “See you on the other side.” I did this by writing a letter. Writing a letter can provide an outlet for your emotional or physical pain. Speak directly to the person you care about when you write. Tell them everything you would have like to have said while they were alive. Later, when you’re burdened by the feeling of not having said goodbye...reread your writing.

If you continue to struggle with guilt or anxiety over not saying goodbye before your loved one’s death, think about a happy memory of your loved one, or visualize them forgiving you.
Shifting your attention from negative to positive thoughts takes practice, but it’s a powerful technique that can help you deal with many types of unwanted thinking.

I think it’s not really all about saying goodbye...maybe it’s thinking more about how blessed you were to have someone that makes saying goodbye so hard.

We provide a type of memorial service that continues after the funeral has ended. Once those doors are closed the grieving doesn't stop, its actually just beginning. So my company works to help you through those intimate moments when you need to hear them luagh or see them smile. On the days when life feels impossible without them, we help bring their memory to life .

Our videos help you get through the dark times, and never forget the good times.
