When a loved one dies, whether it’s planned for or sudden, it’s really hard to know where to begin, and easy, very easy to feel completely overwhelmed by everything you are experiencing and having to manage. Some people will feel they just want to bury their head in the sand and grieve their loss. Others will throw themselves into managing arrangements and leave the grieving until after all is said and done.
There is no right and wrong. Its just a moment in time ... a sad, devastating and often confronting and very emotional time.
My role in planning and delivering ceremonies of farewell is to assist individuals, families and communities to use and adapt rituals that enable them to honour, respect, and remember those who have died.
Through professional facilitation and collaboration, I will work with you to design a ceremony that allows you and yours to farewell your loved one, celebrate their life or dedicate a memorial to them.
I have several advice documents that I hope might provide some practical guidance that will enable you to focus on creating a meaningful farewell for your loved one. There are also some wonderful guiding documents that you can download regarding preparing for and managing grief.
While a large part of my ceremonial experience has been in delivering memorial and funeral services, its difficult to provide a quote or a cost for my work for a funeral without knowing more about your loved one and the sort of farewell or vigil you are seeking to create. I do have a guide to the sort of services I can provide for you here or on the button below..
So please, reach out via email and we can talk about it.
Even if you do not engage me to assist you, please feel free to download the AFCC Process of Grief Flier for the ACT and a personal experience of grief described in 'In Russ's Words'.
