Grieving the loss of someone close is a private experience which is largely determined by our relationship with them and the circumstances of their death. That close association combined with the lack of knowledge can often be the reasons why there are so many myths about the grieving process.

Discover the five most common myths about grief and the facts that sit behind them. This guide will help dispel these misconceptions.

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding it, the death of a husband, wife or a partner is likely to introduce an instant disruption to your life and turn it upside down.

You are left to deal with the loss itself whilst having to balance life and taking on extra responsibilities in running the household, looking after the children or holding a job to support yourself. It is a struggle but the urgency and the lack of choice encourage you to build the resilience you need to get through these challenges.

This guide will help you understand the different physical and emotional effects of losing a spouse or a partner and show you how to cope with life on your own.

This guide explains how to cope with the loss of a spouse or partner. Read our advice on coping with grief after the death of a husband, wife or partner.

" TAKE THE LOVE

Take the love you had for me
and turn it into laughter
turn it into blinding light
to shine on you thereafter

Take the love you have for me
and show it to the world
something so amazing
needs to blossom and unfurl

Take the love that made us
keep it burning bright
let that fire guide you
let it warm you through the night

Take the love you shared with me
and spread it out with gladness
my life will not have been in vain
if you can fight the sadness

Take the love my darling
it's yours to carry on
grow that love forevermore
and then i won't be gone.

Funerals in the UK are often bathed in tradition - with many of the beliefs and customs we now associate with funerals dating back many years. As a result, many people have a fixed idea of what a funeral looks like, with cars, flowers and funeral attire often tied to these well-versed traditions.

The reality is, the funeral is changing. Fewer people are opting for tradition, with colourful personalised funerals becoming increasingly commonplace. These types of funerals have become the norm, with families increasingly opting to plan funerals that reflect the life, hobbies and interests of their loved one.

Our Funeral Directors share their memories of personalised funerals that reflect the life, hobbies and interests of the person who has died.
