Lifestyle Changes For Diabetes Control

My name is Tony Richards and when I turned 40 years old I began having unusual health symptoms including a powerful thirst and numbness in my hands. I went to see my doctor and after running tests he determined that I had diabetes. My doctor prescribed medicine for my condition and he also told me to make some lifestyle changes or the diabetes would get worse. I didn't want that to happen so I began researching ways to control diabetes. After implementing these ideas, my condition actually got better and I was able to reduce the amount of medication I was taking. If your doctor has diagnosed you with diabetes, it's very beneficial for you to read my blog so your condition doesn't worsen. I hope that by following this blog, it will help you to control your diabetes too.

Tips On Writing An Obituary

For Content

If you have recently lost someone you love and are preparing to say your goodbyes, you may soon discover that one of the hardest tasks you'll be taking on is writing the obituary. There is no right or wrong way to write one, but it can be extremely difficult for you to summarize a loved one's life into a few short paragraphs. Here are some tips in order to help you write an obituary that says everything you need to say.

First Things First

The first thing you should do is to write down some memories, thoughts, accomplishments or highlights of the person's life. Note the things that bring back the best memory of your loved one. Sometimes all it takes is seeing something written down on paper to know the exact things you want to include in the obituary.  Draw up an outline of the obituary, and include surviving family members and where they currently live. This is helpful for others who may want to send a sympathy card or get in touch with the survivors. 

Focus on Achievements

An obituary tells the story of your loved one, and it usually highlights a few of their achievements. This could include charity work that they did, or could focus on their career. It can also include the love the deceased had for their family. Think about what the deceased considered to be most important in their life, as that will help you in determining what to include in their obituary.

Personal Interests 

An obituary can also focus on the things that the deceased loved personally. From gardening to camping, you can choose to incorporate a sentence or two about how much happiness the deceased got from participating in these activities. This can be anything from traveling the country to collecting antiques. Focus on the individuality of the deceased, and the words should flow freely.

Final Thoughts and Review 

After you have completed your write up, it's helpful to have another friend or family member take a look at it to ensure its accuracy. They may even have some added tidbits that would fit in with what you've already written. When the obituary is done, you can have your funeral director help you decide which newspaper publications you can publish the obituary in. 

If your loved one had a childhood hometown, you may consider publishing the obituary in that newspaper as well, so any family or friends left behind in that community will be notified of the death. To learn more, contact Sturtevant Funeral Home.
