Farewells

 

The time for saying goodbye is important. Tidy up the room, remove the medicine and nursing aids. Light candles. You may also place fresh flowers into the deceased’s hands. Sit by the bed and try to calm down. When you look at the deceased’s face you can see all the tension disappears from it and only calmness remains. If you wish you can talk to your beloved dead one and accompany them with your thoughts on their invisible journey.

For friends who live far away and cannot come to say goodbye personally, it is much more difficult to understand that the loved one has died. In this case it helps if you take a picture of the person. It brings calm and eases the tension.
