23.01.2022 KIND WORDS These two gorgeous love muffins have been patient and flexible and creative and open to all the good things that can surprise us when we stay open. It has been a Covid journey for sure, but what we all created together was just sooo very lovely I was on such a Big Love High afterwards & I received these gorgeous words today. . Where do I even begin, Jo is simply the best there is. ... She is the epitome of professional and goes out of her way to make sure everything runs smoothly. Despite needing to change plans a few times (Thanks COVID) Jo was always open to all our ideas and made us feel so well looked after. On the actual day, Jo brought us all to tears with a ceremony so true to us. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it! Thanks Jo, we certainly have big love for you . (& a huge shout out to @lukegoingweddings for always being so chill and so good at ) See more

19.01.2022 There are some people I admire so much, people I aspire to be like when I get my act together. The remarkable women at The Last Hurrah Funerals are such people. Grieving folk have had it tough this year, and these caring, compassionate women are going the extra mile to assist those in grief-literally and figuratively. Read below to see the Love Filled Last Ride for Ray they orchestrated today.

17.01.2022 More events for Dying to Know Day...

17.01.2022 The dead are not distant or absent. They are alongside us. When we lose someone to death, we lose their physical image and presence, they slip out of visible form into invisible presence. This alteration of form is the reason we cannot see the dead. But because we cannot see them does not mean that they are not there. ... Transfigured into eternal form, the dead cannot reverse the journey and even for one second re-enter their old form to linger with us a while. Though they cannot reappear, they continue to be near us and part of the healing of grief is the refinement of our hearts whereby we come to sense their loving nearness. When we ourselves enter the eternal world and come to see our lives on earth in full view, we may be surprised at the immense assistance and support with which our departed loved ones have accompanied every moment of our lives. In their new, transfigured presence their compassion, understanding and love take on a divine depth, enabling them to become secret angels guiding and sheltering the unfolding of our destiny.

17.01.2022 Grief Children grieve differently to adults. This article offers some really good insights into how and why. CHILDREN TEND TO GROW UP WITH GRIEF, REVISITING IT AS THE BRAIN DEVELOPS.... As the brain develops and matures, comprehension of death and loss increases. This is why grief can feel like it randomly comes and goes with kids. Their younger brains can be protective in times of loss, helping them move on easier than adults who fully comprehend the finality of death. However, mourning for a childhood loss can be revived at many points in life, especially when important life events reactivate the loss. [2] Times of stress (school, friends, or family stress) can bring out grief symptoms and reactions. The teenage years are another vulnerable time for experiencing grief, as abstract thinking develops and hormones hit. And some may experience only minor grief symptoms in childhood, but wont experience major grief symptoms until they are adults and they can fully comprehend the loss. The important thing is to recognize that, no matter how or when it happens, grief will eventually hit and will need to be experienced in order to heal. See more

17.01.2022 A heart-achingly, beauty-filled read over on Rite of Passage Funerals blog... And the quote that stuck out to me the most... " Death has taught her how to surrender, trust and grow. It [grief] is really important for our soul evolution; it teaches us whats important. Embrace it, because what you get out of it is a deeper understanding of universal truths, a deeper understanding of why youre here, clarity around your purpose and youll just love more. Its wild! When you do experience feelings of joy and love, it is indescribable and so precious.

17.01.2022 Grief has a unique rhythm and texture in each of us. It cannot be rushed. Some people cry oceans of tears, some are angry or nauseous, others are numb with an absence of expression while still others experience wild, out of control displays. Everyone finds their own way to grieve. ... Our own unexplored fear of grief can lead us to hurry others along the path of healing. Please be patient. Our grief isn't always about death or even loss. Many of us are feeling the truth of our human frailty these days. Let's keep our eyes and ears and hearts open and be willing to support friends, family, and neighbours Frank Ostaseski.

08.01.2022 In my funeral wishes document I have told my family to tell the truth about me.

And so I continue the question... What would you want your eulogy to say?

05.01.2022 Why do funerals matter?

05.01.2022 You have been forced to enter empty time. The desire that drove you has relinquished. There is nothing else to do now but rest And patiently learn to receive th...e self You have forsaken for the race of days. At first your thinking will darken And sadness take over like listless weather. The flow of unwept tears will frighten you. You have traveled too fast over false ground; Now your soul has come to take you back. Take refuge in your senses, open up To all the small miracles you rushed through. Become inclined to watch the way of rain When it falls slow and free. Imitate the habit of twilight, Taking time to open the well of color That fostered the brightness of day. Draw alongside the silence of stone Until its calmness can claim you. Be excessively gentle with yourself. Stay clear of those vexed in spirit. Learn to linger around someone of ease Who feels they have all the time in the world. Gradually, you will return to yourself, Having learned a new respect for your heart And the joy that dwells far within slow time. ~ John O'Donohue, "For One Who Is Exhausted, a Blessing."
