25.01.2022 DO YOU KNOW THE STEPS TO TAKE WHEN SOMEONE DIES? In a hospital or Nursing Home or care facility Staff will help you with the immediate arrangements.... At home and there is no doctor or other authority present You, or a relative or friend will need to call the person’s doctor. The doctor may come to the home or may explain over the phone what to do next. When appropriate, the deceased will be taken to a hospital or to a funeral home of your choosing. Medical Certificates stating the cause of death The doctor who was responsible for the medical care of a person before their death, or who examines the body after death, must complete and sign a medical certificate stating the cause of death. This certificate must be issued within 48 hours after the person’s death and is usually given to the funeral director who will register the death. When the death occurs as the result of an accident or is unexpected, Tasmania Police should be notified as well as the person’s doctor. In these cases, the Coroner may be required to investigate the cause of death. In Tasmania, registration of a death with the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages is compulsory and must occur within 14 days from the date of death. Usually a funeral director will register the death following the funeral. The funeral director will require information about the deceased to register the death, including; full name address date and place of birth, date and place of death occupation marital status parents’ full names and occupations previous name before marriage names and ages of their children. After the death is registered, the Registry can issue a death certificate. A certified copy of the death certificate can be obtained within ten days. The executor is responsible for obtaining a copy to enable them to administer the deceased estate. Eligible applicants can apply directly at Service Tasmania for a copy. Coroner’s Office In certain cases (car accident, suspicious death or death at home) the Coroner's Office is responsible for lodging the Death Registration Statement.

24.01.2022 A host of golden daffodils at The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Reflect and remember.

22.01.2022 This week I have been very busy collaborating with clients to create a relevant memorial service. Personal recollections, stories and anecdotes usually result in equal amounts of tears and laughter.

21.01.2022 Celebrate life with passion, love and respect.

21.01.2022 Looking after yourself The most important thing to remember throughout the process of dealing with a loved one’s death is to seek support and accept offers of help. Even though grief is a very personal experience, it often helps to share how you feel with others. If you are feeling overwhelmed for a long period of time or unable to cope, you might consider speaking to a professional who can help you deal with your grief. If children are affected by the person’s death, it often helps to speak with them about how they are feeling or arrange for them to speak to a professional.

19.01.2022 Celebrate .... life

19.01.2022 After we say our final goodbye and attempt to complete the myriad of tasks required when someone dies, greyness seeps into our thoughts. When the phone rings our response is, "I'm OK." but we are feeling lost. Be still and let the universe give us peace and time to heal.

18.01.2022 The pleasure of celebrant work is in sharing life's moments with clients and their families and friends. Sometimes my work crosses generations of families paying tribute, celebrating and supporting each other. I am able to gather ideas to create meaningful and relevant memorial or funeral services, ashes scattering, anniversary celebrations, vow renewals or even boat launching ocassions to connect communities.

17.01.2022 A year after a bush fire, the forest is flourishing from the ground up. Leaves on tall trees burnt and blackened are rejuvenating along their trunks and charred ferns regenerate in their riverside location. Tiny creatures and fungi return to complete their life cycle. Despite the horror and devastation the river still runs free and life goes on. There is always hope if you allow time. Find a place to soothe your soul. Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Opening lines from Desiderata by Max Ehrmann, 1927

15.01.2022 Baby Naming Days allow you to decide how you will introduce your baby to your community. Quite often families choose to combine a Baby Naming Ceremony and a First Birthday celebration. Call me to discuss.

14.01.2022 By the River Piedra I sat down and wept. There is a legend that everything that falls into the waters of this river -- leaves, insects, the feathers of birds -- is transformed into the rocks that make the riverbed. If only I could tear out my heart and hurl it into the current, then my pain and longing would be over, and I could finally forget. Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

12.01.2022 Just another process.

12.01.2022 For some people, taking care of yourself means time alone, to reflect.

11.01.2022 Light behaves in the most unusual ways and at the most unexpected times. Moments in time trigger memories of people and your interaction with them. Photographs, music, places and stories gathered throughout life create a personal story. Celebrate that special story when baby arrives, at significant birthdays, anniversaries, achievements in education and careers. A personalised funeral ceremony honours life and memories. A range of options available to enable meaningful c...elebrations at the end of life may include: Light hearted, whimsical, yet sensitive and respectful; Theme focussed; Small gatherings in a forest, mountainside, beachside or in a park; Traditional services; A funeral in a chapel or other venue; Ashes scattering; and Memorial services. Discussion and advice are available.

10.01.2022 Invisible tears in my eyes, incredible pain in my heart Indestructible memories ...... Indelible memories........ INVISIBLE TEARS ~ (Ned Miller / Sue Miller) 1964... When your heart is sad you might find consolation in music and songs, such as this 'golden oldie' sourced from International Lyric Playground.

10.01.2022 "It's not a problem to miss you. There is nothing else to do but to remember you at every moment, to remember you, always remember and pray..." This beautiful quote came from a daughter to her father.~ Veseme

10.01.2022 G'Day A this time of uncertainty and anxiety trust that the world, eventually, will become a better place. Work at strengthening community bonds by using the opportunity to reach out with a phone call, social media or a letter; deliver food parcels, a care pack or a home-cooked meal to a vulnerable neighbour. Add balance to your day by alternating music, reading, art and puzzles to your television and other screen activities. Surround yourself with yo...ur memories, flowers and plants. Search the horizon from your window or garden. Look for a glimmer of hope. Be aware of moon cycles and the night skies Appreciate the gift of rain and Autumn coolness Learn to identify clouds and plants in your pots or garden. Record bird, insects and wildlife in a journal. Remember the games and activities that you played when you were younger and remind your friends, neighbours and children. Be creative and smile a lot, it is good for us. See more

08.01.2022 Facebook has all the answers to life and death.

07.01.2022 Grief never ends. But it changes, It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith, It is the price of love.

02.01.2022 Like the squid fishing fleet, life may be tough, your bones weary and tiredness, constant. Find a focus to light your way through the darkness. Arranging a funeral service requires professional assistance to negotiate through the labyrinth of emotions when someone dies. Record their stories, the fun times to laugh your way through the memories and feel rage when you ponder the hard times. Share your stories and your sadness.

01.01.2022 In isolation or returning to your work environment rituals and tributes are important to well being. The method of connection to pay your condolences may differ when gatherings are limited but a card or a letter mean just as as much and perhaps even more so. Electronic messages, social media and video calls form connections to grieving families and friends. Times change, and we realign.
