In the comforting setting of the Aeternum Premium Estate Lots and Columbary, time heals all wounds and life is celebrated most reverently In an ideal world, we would walk alongside our loved ones throughout our whole lives and beyond. But life is far from perfect and eventually, we will all face the profound loss of someone dear. Even after such heartbreak, a natural instinct takes hold; there is a desire to continue caring for them in their absence, reflected in the ways we honour their legacy and the peaceful place we choose for their final rest.
Grief, however, will always be a deeply personal experience. There is no right or wrong way to feel, and the path forward is rarely linear. It is during the immediate aftermath of a loss, often a blur of emotions and practicalities, that being open to support from family members, friends and fellow condolers becomes vital. Perhaps the departed have expressed their wishes for legal, funeral and memorial arrangements long before; but more often than not, it falls on the immediate family to make these important decisions after they are gone. Through such practical matters, we are able to celebrate the lives they’ve led.
Businesswoman Eisa ParedesMercado has closely witnessed this over the years, deeply sympathising with the countless families her company, IPM Realty and Development Corporation, has welcomed at the Aeternum Premium Estate Lots and Columbary. This verdant five-hectare development within Heritage Park, Taguig is a serene and secure setting for the bereaved to honour and visit their departed loved ones.
