The Emotional Comfort of Holding a Loved One: Why Cremation Stones Bring Solace

A feeling of peace can be hard to find in the aftermath of losing a loved one. There is something missing, and while you are trying to continue on in life, it’s hard to no longer have the sensation of holding the person who meant so much to you. 

 

One of the best features of cremation stones is the way they allow you to hold your loved one again at any time. There is something powerful about holding these memory rocks, and they can help you get through the toughest periods of grief that are likely to come and go over the years ahead.

 

The Healing Power of Touch

Grief affects us physically just as it affects us emotionally. When you are grieving the loss of a loved one, you are missing not only their company, but also their touch. Whether it’s a long hug, holding hands, or any other type of physical contact, you long to be in their physical presence again. 

This is why having something to touch during this difficult phase is so important. With cremation stones nearby, you’ll always have something you can hold when you wish that person was still with you. It’s not the same thing, of course, but it does help to close the emotional distance and give you a feeling of peace and calm.

 

Everyday Moments of Connection

One of the great things about cremation stones is how they can be so present in your daily life. You don’t have to go for a long drive to visit the memorial of a loved one, as you’ll be able to reach for the stones at any time to bring back their memory. Also, you could place a variety of stones in various places around your home, so you can encounter them during everyday moments and activities. For example, there might be a stone by your bed, another in the kitchen, and yet another on your desk. Wherever you are, a wonderful reminder of that person will always be there.

 

A Quiet Source of Strength

Stones are also subtle in a way that some other memorials may not be. You can just hold a stone in your hand and not need to explain anything to anyone. It can just be part of what you do. Or, you can add some of these stones to a garden memorial, and to everyone else, they will just look like they were placed there by nature. But you will know the true story.
