Melbourne, Australia – Dealing with the loss of a loved one has become easier for many thousands who have created an online memorial – providing them with a form of therapy for healing.
Thousands have created a free, everlasting memorial or tribute to friends and family who have passed away at www.Imorial.com
"Imorial.com is not about death, it's about life. It's about taking the time to remember those who
are no longer with us, which brings healing to those who are still here," explained Benjamin Goldhammer of Cinnic Interactive, creator of Imorial.com.
The site provides tools that enable anyone to create a unique and beautiful memorial that others can contribute to. Families and friends can join in the process of sharing memories and experiences through written tributes, pictures, videos, music and recordings. Imorial.com also offers a new category for pet memorials which has become very popular for those who have lost a cherished pet.
"Once you create your free memorial you can invite as many friends and family as you wish to contribute to it. We have received so many wonderful comments from those who have found great strength and healing as they shared memories with others through Imorial.com," said Goldhammer.
The site offers many selections for the appearance of the memorial, and even offers custom design services if desired. There are no limits to what can be posted on the memorial, including videos, entire photo albums and slide shows, music, as well as tributes and messages. The tributes can include virtual tokens, such as a lighted candle, flowers, a heart, and other symbols.
Imorial.com has been designed as a social networking site, which enables visitors to the site to join or create their own groups for discussing various topics, and just sharing their feelings with others who are having similar experiences.
Healing takes place as family members work together to build the memorial for a loved one, and as the bereaved participate in some of the discussion groups. The process brings joy where there was previously only sorrow, according to Goldhammer.
