Tips and recommendations
1. Don’t make hasty decisions during grief.
Giving yourself time is essential. You’re under no obligation to sleep there immediately or to change anything quickly.
2. Prayer helps transform the emotional atmosphere.
A simple phrase is enough:
“Lord, fill this room with peace.”
3. If you feel uncomfortable, change your environment.
Moving the furniture, airing out the room, lighting a candle, or changing the sheets can help you heal.
4. Talk to your family.
Sharing grief lightens the burden. Often, another member of the household feels the same way you do.
5. Don’t feed superstitions.
Faith, not fear, is what illuminates. The soul of the deceased is now in God’s hands, not in objects.
6. Keep what brings you peace, not what hurts you.
Memories aren’t in furniture, but in the heart.
7. Seek spiritual support if grief is weighing you down.
A spiritual guide, a priest, or a therapist can help you through the process.
