Benefits Of Having A Virtual Memorial Website

By Mary Roberts


It is usually so saddening and heartbreaking when we lose the people we love. When a loved one passes on, it can be so hard to move on from the stress that you get. This is the time you need support from friends and other family members. Also, you need to be very strong so that you do not become a victim of PTSD and depression. The best way to become emotionally strong is by allowing yourself to remember the deceased in any way you can. Therefore, creating a virtual memorial website can be very helpful. The benefits of thee sites have been listed below.

These sites usually have so many benefits to the bereaved. They allow people to participate in the grieving process even from a distance. People can grieve at any time of day and night. Scientists claim that publicly displaying your grief helps in quick emotional recovery after the bereavement.

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.

By continued posting on the wall, the memories of the deceased are kept alive. Thus, people can continue to post anything they wish on the wall all year. Also, posting pictures and messages on the birthdays of the deceased and during holidays and special occasions helps in staying connected to them. This way, you feel stronger every day.

When you are feeling low, you have the ability to pull up the page and go through the comments and pictures that were posted on the wall. Thus, you will feel stronger as you will remember the memories you shared with the deceased. Continued expression of feelings to the departed ones helps in keeping the bereaved strong. It is therefore recommended even by therapists as it is very therapeutic.

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.

After that, you can invite friends, family, and workmates to the page. The invitation can be through an email or Facebook. Invite all the people that you like on the page. These people will then share or post their experiences and memories of your loved one.

After that, you can share your memories and photos with everyone you have invited to the page. Also, allow all the visitors to add their own photos. Additionally, allow the people you invite to share their memories, express their feelings, and pay their tribute to the deceased.
