2026 won’t be a Happy New Year for everyone.Many people will be dealing with terminal illness and the prospect of their own, or a loved one’s impending loss of life. Arranging what will happen when that time comes can be comforting and empowering.

If you are one of those people, then please reach out. As a Funeral Celebrant I can take you through what plans you may want to make, support you through that process and suggest the best Funeral Director for you.

If you are considering a direct or unattended cremation I can also offer advice on the best way to go about that choice.

Get in touch via WhatsApp or email any time.

Grieving is difficult at the best of times and Christmas can be a challenging time when you are missing a loved one, for whatever reason. So be kind to yourself, take the space you need and if ignoring Christmas helps then do that, or if you feel like celebrating and think you shouldn't, that it somehow wouldn't be appropriate, celebrate for the one you lost.

This week is National Grief Awareness Week.

Everyone’s loss is individual and different, and grief is different for everyone. For some it can turn quickly into acceptance, for others it lasts a lifetime.

How we grieve is affected by many things, our relationship with that person, our own nature and a whole host of other things.

One thing that bereavement therapists know is that grief can be exacerbated by how we get to say goodbye to someone. With direct/unattended cremations becoming more popular, people are finding that not being able to have a service where they can commemorate and celebrate someones’s life often prolongs their grief.

During COVID many people were buried or cremated with only immediate family (even then some may have been left out due to numbers permitted) this meant that wider family, friends and work colleagues could not say goodbye. For many this means they are not able to resolve their grief.

If this is your experience, why not use grief awareness week to do something about the way you feel. Consider organising a get together with others, celebrate the life of the person you all lost. Play their favourite music, read a poem, sing together, anything goes. A funeral isn’t the only thing available to you, a memorial or remembrance is also a lovely way to say goodbye.
