Hi there!
My name is Cheryl and this, as you can see, is Memorial Haven’s blog. I’ll be maintaining this blog and writing most of the content here (fingers crossed, I hope you’ll like it). If you don’t already know, we created Memorial Haven, our website, for remembering those who have passed away. It’s a place where you can write in your own words about someone you’ve lost and let their memory live on. You can post photos and videos, and others can post their condolences on the memorial you’ve created. Unlike flowers or wreaths, these condolences won’t wilt away.
But I’ll let the site speak for itself. Here’s the link:
What’s this blog for, then? Unlike the site, I won’t be posting eulogies here. This blog is a space for open conversation about grieving and coming to terms with death. It’s such a taboo to speak about or be associated with death in Singapore (more on this later) and what I really want to do is change this opinion. Expect to find articles celebrating life, making the most of life and even joking about what the practical things we need to get done so we can kick the bucket with peace of mind. After all, death is an eventuality – to not speak about it out of superstition sounds a lot like mere denial, doesn’t it?
