Slightly more than a year ago when my cousin sister passed away suddenly, we were all caught by surprised. There was only a couple of days' notice between falling seriously ill, lapsing into a coma and then taking her last breath. Most of our family members and friends who were overseas did not manage to come home to pay their last respects.
Of course, some may say that we should have shown that we care during her lifetime but in this modern times, family gatherings are not that easy to organize and keeping in touch is more by email.
I was told of the website called Registry of Life at http://www.registryoflife.com/ which allows us to set up an online memorial page in honor of the deceased so that any family member or friend who has access to the internet could come by to celebrate the life and times of her.
I think that Registry of Life is a very good concept since most of us are web savvy and wired. This could help us remember the deceased and also bring the living closer together.
Registry of Life is also a resource center with information on how to cope with the loss of a loved one. I remember the tough days my aunt went through when her daughter, my cousin, passed away. We could not adequately and competently console her because only a grieving mother could understand the feelings of another and there were times we wished that there were professional counselors on hand to advise and comfort her. If only we had known of Registry of Life earlier.
This website is a service site, therefore, members who would like to create a Registry of Life will be assessed a one-time charge of $49.95 but to be sure this is something you really want for your loved one, you have a 14-day free trial to create a Registry of Life and have full access to it.
Personally, I think that $49.95 is well worth the money because it is a one-time fee and there will be no other hidden charges. Moreover, all registries are archived online for as long as the website is up. Also, members have total control over the set up of the registry including customization of the layout and theme and uploading of photos, slide shows and audio files. I really like the option to set the Registry to public or private access. This can help us to protect our privacy among family members and friends only.
I think a Registry is worth the time and money to set up. I am going to discuss with my aunt and uncle since they are the parents and will have the final say.
