Have you or someone you know recently lost someone near and dear to the heart? Losing someone is never easy, especially if the death was sudden or unexpected. Even if someone has been in poor health for years, it can still feel terrible to lose them forever. If you have been having trouble grieving, then there are some things you can do to help. This article will seek to outline a few easy ways to keep your deceased loved one close to your heart. There are several different ways to accomplish this and to make suffering through a loss much easier to bear. Use these tips and tricks, and you will notice things getting easier over time.

Plot Close to Home

IF your loved one had it in their last wishes that they wished to have a full burial, then a great way to keep them close to your heart is to find a plot near your home, which they can be buried in. By choosing a location that is close to your home base, then you will be able to make regular trips without spending a huge amount of time or money on gas. Check with local cemeteries to see how much availability they have, and also a price range. 

Digital Picture Frame

A great way to keep the fond memories of your loved one close to the surface and your heart is to have some kind of digital picture frame, which will cycle through some of your favorite pictures of the person. These types of objects are usually fairly affordable, and can also hold hundreds or even thousands of pictures within their internal memory cards. This should provide you with enough storage space to make a nice mini photo album or a memory book. Even if you have a family that is still alive, they might love something like this. If you have siblings, then you could gift each of them a digital frame with your deceased parents in it. This will remind all of you of simpler and better times when everyone was still around. 

Cremation

If you are looking for a way to take your deceased loved one with you wherever you go, then considering getting your loved one cremated might be a good idea. Whether you like it or not, sometimes things come up in life and you have to move away from a place where your family or loved ones might be buried. This can be too much to handle for some people, and consequently, make them stay in an area which otherwise might not have much to offer them. A great way to avoid this kind of situation is to use a portable cremation urn. Experts recommend cremation urns to help solve this issue, since they are both portable, affordable, and usually look quite nice. By having a nice cremation urn, you will be able to move the remains of your loved one along with you wherever you go. You will never need to travel hundreds or thousands of kilometers to visit a gravesite again. 

Diamonds

A newer thing that many people have been trying out is the technology that allows us to create a diamond using the leftover carbon from the remains of a loved one. This amazing technology allows scientists to create a real diamond from your loved one’s ashes. Since it is fairly new, this type of procedure usually costs a decent amount of money, but the results are amazing. What better way to always have your loved one with you than to wear a diamond that is made out of them? 

Plant a Tree

Did your now deceased loved one have a deep love for nature? If they did, a great way to pay respects to them could be to plant a tree in their memory. This will allow you to keep them close to your heart, in your yard, and continue to nourish them by watering the tree. There are even some companies who will use the cremated ashes of your loved one to help the tree to grow in some form of a compost pod. Many people are choosing this as an alternative to traditional full burials.
