How humbling it is, to make a difference in a family’s time of grief. I will never take my work for granted 🖤

“So often those around the griever rush to give support, cook a meal, send a card, call or visit immediately after the loss. Grievers appreciate all of that, yet also appreciate those who come by or call or visit for a cup of tea after the support has dwindled and most have gone back to their lives.
That is when the reality of the loss begins to set in for many and when support is harder to find.

They are thankful for those who stick around and continue to check in, spend time sharing memories, remember and truly listen to their friend or loved one who is grieving as time goes on. “

This was copied, and whilst not necessarily true for everyone, something worth considering 🖤

I had the honour of taking a service for a gentleman who passed away far too soon, at just 40 years of age. His family are understandably devastated, so for them to take the time to thank me, means so much. I cannot express in words, what a privilege it is, for me to do the job that I do ❤️‍🩹

Grief can be all consuming, so be kind, and remember it’s okay to not be okay.

I had the privilege of taking the service for a unique gentleman, where his daughter wrote and delivered a wonderful eulogy.
But even when a family member wishes to speak, putting together a service can seem daunting. As a fully qualified celebrant, training and experience allow me to guide a family through this process.

Overwhelmed by a family’s generosity today, what an unexpected and lovely gesture. I never take my job lightly and it’s a privilege to take a service.

Preparing for a funeral can seem daunting to many, so to help a family in any way possible is a real privilege.
