Bereaved Spouses Awareness Month

The loss of a spouse is one of the most stressful life events individuals will ever endure. In many instances the surviving spouse is not prepared for the periods of isolation which follow. Daily intimacies and shared routines disappear.

The transition from being part of a couple to being a single adult can be a debilitating process when faced alone. The bereaved often suffer identity loss as they redefine their sense of self.

Annual events including birthdays, wedding anniversaries, holidays such as Christmas and the anniversary of the death serve as reminders of this new reality. Occasions once shared, now are faced alone.

Bereaved Spouses Awareness Month asks us to be mindful of those who have lost a spouse, and to reach out to bereaved spouses, being that someone who will listen, who will be a shoulder to cry on or who will provide a hug when needed. Those who grieve will appreciate that they do not have to do so without the help of others.

Your Goodbye, Your Way

We all have a way we approach life and a way we do things which stems from our past experiences. It’s about what provides us comfort and makes us happy. We drive a certain type of car, live in a certain neighbourhood and choose certain activities where we find enjoyment. Whether we’re aware of it or not, we’re always making choices about the life we live.

What about our funeral?

Is this a decision we want others to make on our behalf? Is a conversation with loved ones enough time for them to gather all the details of our choices, so that when the time comes, they will be able to take care of our wishes the way we would've wanted? Will they remember everything we’ve said?

As we all know, this is not the most pleasant subject to discuss. But, arranging ahead of time will make sure that those services we want are what we get. Having these decisions in place will make sure the details which are important to us, are recorded… and then they will form the blueprint for how we would like to say our goodbye to those whom we love and care for.

Please contact us to have information sent to you about planning in advance.

Cremated Remains in Space

We’ve all watched at least one science fiction movie where the remains of an astronaut are jettisoned from a space ship into outer space. The ceremony depicts the body being placed in a pod and then launched from the craft. The deceased becomes one with the universe.

For those who want more than a final resting place on Earth, some visionary firms now offer a personal space burial. A variety of services are available ranging from a space flight where the cremated remains of an individual are onboard for the duration of a mission to, or for the more adventurous, the launching of their cremated remains into deep space.

In 2012, the cremated remains of actor James Doohan, better known as Scotty on Star Trek were launched into space.
