The Necessity to Include ‘Feel Good Times’

When someone loses a beloved, the period that follows is often filled with grief and sadness. Negative emotions dominate as individuals struggle with a new reality. Yes, this state of mind often occurs with many who grieve but efforts still need to be made to create positive feelings where happiness and joy can be experienced.

Why not make a point to find Feel-Good Times, a time to put worries and sadness aside, and focus on today, the beauty within it and the opportunities it presents. What do your feel-good moments look like? Are you solo or do you have one or more friends or companions with you? Are you indoors or outdoors? Depending on what you enjoy, there are many ways to find or create these occasions.

Why not: go for a walk in nature, create a tasty meal or dessert, read something that inspires you, attend an event, get artsy, get physical, listen to your favorite tunes, or connect with your favourite people?

Feel-good times allow a reprieve. They create an atmosphere to experience happiness and joy and they help heal. Are you ready to make a pledge to increase the feel-good in your life?

Green Burial Option
The Mushroom Burial Suit

As scientists explore options to achieve an environmentally friendly burial, some innovative solutions are being developed. The Mushroom Burial Suit is one such innovation; Jae Lee created this funeral garment as part of her Infinity Burial Project and the Coeio brand name. The main objective in this suit’s design is environmental sustainability.

The suit is made using 100% biodegradable materials including organic cotton and a mixture of mushroom mycelium. These fungi are instrumental as a catalyst in the decomposition of human remains. The end result is essentially a body becoming part of its natural burial environment.

There are some drawbacks to this approach. Municipal and provincial governments have clear guidelines for the disposition of human remains. A minimum of 48 inches of ground cover and the placing of the body in a secure container are a couple of these regulations, which can vary by jurisdiction. These laws are in effect to ensure proper health and safety standards are met as decomposing bodies can present serious health risks.

If considering this type of option, it is advisable to first see if there is a local cemetery which has green burial options. Consult with them to see about the possibility of this type of burial. To learn more, google: Mushroom Burial Suit.

Celebrating International Women’s Day

Celebrated annually on March 8, International Women’s Day is dedicated to the advancement of women worldwide. This special day recognizes the positive contributions that women make in all aspects of life, while also focusing on key issues, such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and the prevention of violence and abuse against women.

The first Women’s Day occurred over a century ago in 1911. Since then, many advancements have occurred with women participating in political and economic arenas, and occupying key roles within these. Woman’s Day has been an important platform to engage communities, reflect on progress, raise awareness and commit to positive action. Today, we acknowledge the progress and look to a future where the parity of everyone is paramount in societal norms across our nation.

Today, we also celebrate the countless and vital contributions women make to funeral service. Once a male-dominated sector, funeral services now are a blend of both female and male professionals who bring a unique blend of compassion, care and resilience to the families they support.

So, in honour of International Women’s Day, please join us in saluting our women funeral directors, funeral assistants and administrative staff for their achievements and commitment to service excellence.
