When a young person dies in a road accident, it is an unimaginable loss that plunges family and friends into deep grief. This sudden and often completely unexpected death leaves an incomprehensible void, as the loved one who was close to so many is simply no longer there from one moment to the next. Parents, siblings, friends and partners lose someone they held close to their hearts and have to come to terms with a new reality in a bereavement, in which a person they had firmly anchored in their lives is suddenly missing. The pain is often hard to bear because this person was in the centre of life and had a future full of hopes and dreams ahead of them.
For parents, such a loss is particularly devastating, as they see someone they have accompanied and supported for years go far too soon. Their plans and hopes for their child’s future are dashed from one moment to the next, and the feeling of going against the natural order – in which parents go before their children – intensifies the grief. This loss is also profound for siblings and friends. They lose someone with whom they shared their lives and went through the ups and downs together. The partner of the deceased person in particular has to learn to deal with the painful reality of living on without a partner and reorganising their life. Every moment, every memory of shared moments becomes a source of comfort, but also of pain.
Accidental death – Memories as an anchor when dealing with grief
In such a situation, dealing with grief is one of the greatest challenges, and memories become a valuable aid in filling the void. They are an anchor that enables the bereaved to keep the deceased person alive in a way that is tangible and to preserve their memory. However, over time, memories can fade and the knowledge that the once vivid moments may no longer be as present at some point causes additional anxiety for many. Especially in the first few months after a bereavement, family members look for ways to hold on to their loved one in a tangible way – not only in their thoughts, but also in everyday life.
The ENKORO app as a digital timeline and memorial site
This is where the ENKORO app comes in. This innovative platform makes it possible to keep the memory of a deceased person alive by saving photos, videos and texts in the form of a so-called timeline. This timeline becomes a digital memorial that can be accessed at any time and from anywhere. Relatives and friends can save special memories of the deceased person here and access them at any time. Through this digital space, the life of the deceased person becomes tangible in a way that offers comfort and support to the bereaved.
Photos of shared experiences, birthdays or everyday moments can be saved in the digital timeline of the ENKORO app. Videos capturing the laughter and voice of the deceased person can also be added, and texts reflecting the feelings and thoughts of the mourners give the memory a particularly personal touch. In this way, a collection of memories is created that reflects the life of the loved one in all its diversity. There is nothing more valuable for the bereaved, because this timeline allows them to let the deceased person live on in a certain way.
Creating memories and sharing grief together
A particularly valuable aspect of the ENKORO app is the possibility of collective remembrance. Relatives and friends can create the deceased person’s timeline together and add their own photos, videos and memories. This community of memories gives mourners the feeling that the deceased played an important role not only for them, but also for many other people. By sharing and collecting moments, a more comprehensive picture of the deceased person emerges – like a mosaic that shows how they were perceived and loved by others.
By family and friends sharing their stories and memories, grief becomes a kind of communal experience. They do not have to bear the loss alone, but can support each other. Collective remembrance acts as a healing process that alleviates the pain of the individual and keeps the memory of the loved one alive in everyone’s heart.
ENKORO: A special way for young people to deal with grief
Especially for young people, who often record their lives and memories digitally, the ENKORO app offers a familiar and modern way of preserving the deceased person in a familiar environment. The app creates a memorial space that provides a safe place for today’s generation to process grief digitally while staying connected to the deceased person. It allows them to say goodbye in a way that reflects their reality and the world they lived in.
The app fulfils a dual function: it is not only a place of remembrance, but also a safe space for dealing with grief. Young people can say goodbye individually, but also together with other mourners, and preserve their very personal moments and thoughts in the timeline of the deceased person. Even if the loved one is no longer physically with them, they remain part of their lives through the memories they share.
ENKORO – A ray of hope in the darkness of grief
In the difficult time after a bereavement, the ENKORO app enables the bereaved to remember the precious moments they shared with the deceased and gives them a place where the loss becomes tangible and continuing to live without a partner becomes a little easier. Memories are preserved, kept alive and preserved not only in thoughts, but also in a tangible, digital timeline. This special way of coping with grief enables relatives to gradually accept the loss without ever losing the memory of their loved one.
The ENKORO app thus becomes a valuable support that allows relatives to say goodbye in their own personal way while preserving the life and joy that the deceased brought with them. Through the loving handling of memories and the opportunity to share them digitally, family and friends can honour the deceased and find strength and support to come to terms with the loss and move on with their lives.
