Importance 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.

When people continue to post on these online sites, they continue keeping the departed loved ones close to them. The bereaved can still post any content and images on the wall during special holidays, and occasions like birthdays and Christmas. This makes the bereaved to stay strong as they will continue feeling close and connected to the loved ones.

These online sites also help a lot when you are feeling low on a particular day. During these low moments, you can log in to the sites and pull up the page. Then, by going through the photos and messages, you will feel stronger and more stable emotionally. Doing this is even recommended by therapists and scientists as it helps a person feel better when he/she remembers the good memories.

If you would like to create your own website in honor of your departed loved one, the process is simple. You should first select the platform that you want. Then, write the life story of the loved one. Express all your thoughts on how they lived their life. After writing the story, you can post it on the platform that you have selected.

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.
