22.01.2022 my work location today. How lucky am I?

22.01.2022 Grief is grief is grief... evettyone deals differently and that is totally human. People, pets, possessions, they all have value to us, therefore their loss is felt. Grieving is a valid human emotion.

21.01.2022 The author, not me, is very wise with these words. I hope that they help some people.

11.01.2022 Grief... forever changes you, but doesn't need to be crippling

09.01.2022 I have revamped my website. Happy for others to proofread for me. www.angelonstandby.com.au

09.01.2022 A great description of grief

09.01.2022 Some prayers for Cooma and Nimmitabel weather on Friday morning please. I need to safely travel from Bemboka to Cooma for an 11am graveside funeral, and then get home again. The forecast at this stage is for possible snow down to 900m. Please let it be later in the day.

08.01.2022 Some more about coping with grief and traumatic death. We need to learn better lessons, just in case, so it doesn't cripple us.

05.01.2022 What a humbling privilege... Being asked to lead a third funeral ceremony in 9 years for a local Cooma family. I can only hope that a) I do the ceremony to the standard expected, and b) that I can do other ceremonies for them... Vow renewals, weddings and namings, to share the happy times as well as the sad.

05.01.2022 1. I do weddings. 2. I do laid back weddings 3. I do short notice weddings, within the legal requirements 4. I do beach weddings 5. I do country weddings... 6. I do backyard weddings 7. I do restaurant weddings 8. I do weddings in parks and gardens 9. I do weddings at function centres 10. I do theme weddings 11. I do surprise weddings 12. I do weddings at my home 13. I am happy to do Christian / mixed religion/cultural weddings. 14. In some circumstances I may even consider naturist weddings 15. But I don’t do weddings for everyone. 16. I don’t do weddings if we just don’t click and I can’t give you my best. 17. I don’t do weddings on skis, as your celebrant on her butt for the service is NOT a good look 18. I don’t to parachuting or bungee jumping weddings. Celebrants screaming in fear tend to terrify your guests, see also point about spiders and snakes. 19. I don’t do weddings involving bridezillas or MOBzillas 20. I don’t book weddings more than 10 months ahead, usually only 6 months, because I want to minimise the risk of having to pull out for family reasons. 21. I don’t do weddings that are predominantly about religions other than Christianity Pagan, Muslim, Hindu, Druid, etc, 22. I don’t do weddings with snakes, spiders or scorpions 23. I don’t do LGBTQI weddings, as this would be hypocritical of me as a practising Christian. 24. I don’t do weddings for people who disrespect or threaten me 25. I don’t do weddings when I haven’t been paid my invoiced amount. 26. I am happy to recommend many wonderful celebrants who can make your day as special as it should be if you fall into any of the categories 16-23. 27. I don’t do weddings when the parties are drunk or drugged 28. I don’t do weddings where either party is underage or still married 29. I don’t do weddings when there is some question about the identity of the parties 30. I don’t do weddings where I am not sure both parties are legally able to consent, either through illness or coercion. 31. I don’t do 27, 28, 29 or 30 because I don’t do unlawful weddings See more

04.01.2022 Conversations.... We all need to have them with loved ones. Burial or cremation? Organ donation or not? Life support or not and in what circumstances? Do you want recognition of work or military accomplishments? Family only and private or all your friends to celebrate your life? Where are the legal documents kept? Who is the solicitor? Who is executor of the will? Is there a preferred funeral director and is anything already paid for? What's your favourite song? Flowers... or donations? Family plot in old home town, or somewhere close to you now? If something happened to you tomorrow, who knows what you want? Talking about it isn't morbid. Every single one of us is 100% guaranteed to die. Most of us don't know when. Those left behind have a really tough time with grief. . The greatest act of love you can give them is something that makes that time less stressful.... INFORMATION! Answers to the questions above. . So have the conversation, demystify death, include conversations as part of everyday life, and help each other with knowledge, so when the time comes, whether it's next week or in 50 years time, at least knowing the answers to those questions reduces the grief and stress.

02.01.2022 Wow, what a fabulous alternative, and also a good way to deal with family members who can't be in the same room as each other

01.01.2022 As life celebrations - marriages, namings, and yes, even funerals, take place more and more away from churches, and with some towns having a lack of venues that are suitable for a hearse, should Councils be allowed to simply ban outdoor funerals? Surely it would be more sensitive and sensible to simply require some discreet signage (Vistaprint do lawnsigns) saying 'Funeral in Progress' in strategic places? No one (well, almost no one) whinges about other private gatherings... or weddings in parks, on beaches, or even spilling outside halls and churches into "public areas" by virtue of the sheer number of people attending. What if a surfer wants to be buried, rather than cremated and scattered on the waves? Should they be prevented from having a gathering and ceremony at a beach prior to interment? In addition to chapels, crematoria and cemeteries, I have done services at parks, town halls, front yards, and service clubs in local towns - discreet, meaningful and important places for the person bring farewelled, but also very important to those left behind to grieve. We, as Australians, really need to learn how to be better at dealing with death. Or maybe, as a country kid, I was taught early about the cycle of life and death coming to all living things. See more
