It’s always difficult when someone you love can’t attend a special occasion.

There are always ways that they can be honoured! On my Wedding Day in September my Gramma (who was still with us) couldn’t attend. I went to visit her ahead of time but also got this charm and wore her wedding band so she could be with me.

Many people keep a flower from their loved one’s funeral. Have you ever thought about ways you can preserve it?

Some people have pressed their flowers and turned it into art, some simply have a single rose kept in a vase, and some turn their flower into an ornament. During holidays people often try to find ways to include their loved ones. An ornament with a flower from their funeral is a great way to include them in your traditions!

Leaving a flower on the casket, grave or in the niche is common. This allows each person to have a final moment.

Some families choose to bring extra of the deceased’s favourite flower and others choose to pull flowers out of the casket spray or floral arrangement at the cemetery.

Grieving isn’t a linear process! We expect to go through different stages, but the truth is, if you could draw the stages it would be a giant scribble.
You may bounce between several emotions everyday. Some of the emotions can include: anger, depression, fear, loneliness, guilt, anxiety, sadness, confusion, acceptance, peace and so much more.
Everyone has their own grief journey, be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to experience whatever emotion you are feeling 💜

Many people wonder who will perform their funeral service when they don’t belong to a church or are not religious. Celebrants are used if you would like a non religious, or non denominational service.
There are many celebrants that we can recommend to you and your family. Celebrants are great because they get to know who they are speaking about. They truly personalize each service.

Explaining death to children is difficult. They experience big emotions, and don’t know how to process them.
Depending on their age they might not fully be able to grasp the concept of death. For example a young child doesn’t understand the finality of death and may continue to expect them to come back at some point.
When you are also grieving these constant questions can be even more difficult!
Books are a great resource to help children process their grief, and it is explained in an age appropriate manner

These are some books our staff has specifically used with children.

Disenfranchised Grief is a type of grief that is not validated, acknowledged or accepted. Some examples include

-an ex partner
-a pet
-an abusive family member
-death by su***de
-death by crime
-a coworker
-a criminal or someone incarcerated
-a lover in an affair
-a miscarriage
-abortion, etc…

Non death related disenfranchised grief can include: loss of a job, letting go of a toxic relationship, and accepting chronic illness, etc…

Know that disenfranchised grief is very difficult. People recognize that their grief won’t be accepted and won’t express their grief. Holding in your feelings is not healthy. While not everyone will understand your grief…. Someone will!

There will be someone who accepts your feelings, gives you a hug, comforts you on hard days, listens to your memories and will truly support you! If you can’t find that support please reach out to us and we can refer you to our free grief group
