Dealing with the loss of a loved one is a sensitive and painful subject. Because it is a situation that is so overwhelming and heartbreaking, those closest to you will not only offer condolences but offer to help you plan the funeral arrangements for the deceased. It is their way to show you their love and support during this unspeakably difficult time.
For many people, accepting help is a personal challenge. It’s a fascinating contradiction; when something dreadful occurs, it’s our natural reaction to offer to help others, but when it comes to accepting help ourselves when it’s a need of your own, there is resistance. Now, the specific reasons why an individual does refuse help can drastically vary from person to person.
It can be difficult to admit that we are vulnerable and genuinely need help in times of crisis. However, when you are grieving the loss of a loved one, it is crucial to accept the caring acts of others, especially when it comes to planning their funeral services.
When it comes to properly handling grief, it is perfectly acceptable (and encouraged) to admit vulnerability and accept the help offered to you, especially when it comes to planning a funeral.
