Have you ever grieved over a loved one lost? Do you have questions about the grieving process? If you aren’t sure what to expect when mourning, then you may feel like you aren’t grieving the right way.

Grief is a natural process that is different for everyone. Are you familiar with the things in life beyond funerals that can cause you to experience feelings of mourning?

If you want to know more about mourning and the grief process, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds talks with Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services about this topic.

Mourning is an important, healthy part of life. This interview is a chance to learn about the grief process so you know what to expect.

What Is Grief?

Valerie kicks off the episode by explaining the definition of grief, and when people might experience these types of empty feelings.

Then Valerie shares why grief is such a difficult thing to anticipate, and why this elusive emotion is so hard to control.

If you are mourning a loss, regardless of the type, then you can help recover from it by being familiar with the grief process.

Your Grief Is Unique

Next Valerie describes some of the ways grief manifests itself. She also answers these questions during the podcast:

- What is mourning and how is it displayed?
- How do funeral services fit into the grief process?
- Are funerals necessary for mourning and grief?
- Can a memorial help with the grief process?
- What are some risks of not having a funeral?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Do I want to know more about how funerals benefit mourning and the grief process? Am I ready to begin pre-arrange my final wishes? If you answered “Yes” to either or both, then contact Martin Brothers using the contact information below.

Getting Help for Grief and Mourning

Then Valerie offers suggestions for where you can get help with your grief. She points out that not everyone experiences mourning and grief in the same ways.

The services offered by Martin Brothers in Vancouver do not end when the funeral or memorial service concludes. If you have trouble moving forward, Valerie suggests calling the funeral home for assistance.

When you lose someone, whether a human or a pet, that you love, the heartbreak that follows can put a lot of weight on your shoulders. Wouldn’t you like some help so you don’t have to go through it alone?

Valerie wraps things up by sharing her final thoughts on mourning and the grief process.
