It’s natural for many of us to feel the urge to go outdoors when we’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed🌱

Spending time outside when we are grieving can be a powerful tool to help us process and heal, providing a sense of calm in the midst of the whirlwind of emotions many people feel after having lost someone dear.

How do seasons affect grief?

Some, like our deathcare guide and funeral director Rebecca, feel most comfortable doing their grieving rituals outside, but that isn’t easy if grief finds you in the colder seasons.

One thing to remember is that any action done with intention can be a grieving ritual, whether that’s going for a walk or lighting a candle 🕯️

Thoughtful end-of-life planning begins with reflecting on who you are and what matters to you.

It might sound odd, but planning ahead for death can be an empowering act: one that allows you to understand and decide how you’ll be remembered, mourned, celebrated, and cared for after your death.

If you’re interested in learning more about pre-planning, we’re here to help – and we value the courage it takes to start these difficult conversations. Learn more on our website or reach out to us any time.
