Ancestor Pedestal in Nirvana Memorial Garden

After losing a loved one, we go through a period of grief, sometimes followed by depression. To heal from the loss, grieving is crucial. We don’t forget our beloved but learn to live without them. Recovering from grief does not mean that their memory will not sadden you. You will encounter situations, places, or things that will remind you of your beloved. How you react to reminders will tell you how much you have healed. 

We should consider giving the deceased ones a tribute to their life for your peace of mind and heart. Everyone has different ways of remembering and honoring the departed. The practice of remembering the deceased may vary according to different cultures and religions. Some hang pictures with flowers around the frame, while some offer prayers.
