Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Using Memory Boxes To Cherish Memories Of The Deceased

By Oliver Jackson Carter

There will be times when the people closest to us such as our friends and family die, and when they do it is easy to let the grief overwhelm us, however there are certain boxes that are specifically designed to hold keepsakes of that person such as the small accessories that they always had as well as photos and other keepsakes.

These memory boxes are usually made out of wood because wooden boxes allow for beautiful designs to be carved into them. Memory boxes can be used for decorative purposes as well as commemorative purposes. Many people have a life size portrait of their lost loved one in a corner in their house with the box placed underneath it in order to create the best possible memorial in your own home.

Memory boxes make a great gift for people who've just suffered a loss and they can be personalised and made to any specifications to make them perfect for the person you want to give it to, making it the perfect gift in a decorative and emotive sense.

There are also several other purposes that you can have a wooden box personally carved and designed for, for example, using it to store jewellery in to keep your dresser neat and tidy with nothing but an attractive box neatly placed there. Wherever and whatever you use your box for, the amazing artwork and craftsmanship will make the boxes a welcome addition to any room.

There are many places online that will make these memory boxes to your exact specifications so that it will fit perfectly wherever you intend to put it, whether you are going to give it as a gift, or keep it yourself. Also, when you buy online, you will usually get a great discount on the price as online stores do not have to pay for a premises, just a warehouse to keep the stock in.
