"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." - Washington Irving

The VA only permits graphics on government-furnished headstones or markers that are approved emblems of belief, and the symbols are rendered as simple inscriptions without sculptural relief or coloring other than black. Generally the VA adds a new symbol a few months after receiving a petition from a faith group. To learn more about what faiths are listed, give us a call at 773-434-5200 and we can explore the options.

Regrief is generally used to describe a child's grief, but it can be used for adults as well. As you continue on your journey through life and experience "big moments" (weddings, graduations, etc.) without your loved one, you may experience "regrief." Even if it's years later, the special occasion can cause you to feel the same grief you felt at the time of your loss.
In these situations, take a moment to acknowledge your grief and reflect on the memories you were able to share with your loved one. Know that they will always be with you in your heart.

Every day, you have the opportunity to make new memories happen, and we often take this for granted. Remember, anchors don’t have to hold you down. Perhaps set a half hour every night to “dwell,” then challenge yourself not to dwell before or after then. But when you begin to dwell on the past more than you feel is healthy, ask yourself: why does this memory matter to me? Does it serve me to restrict certain opportunities because they remind me of this memory?
