Your death will come on an ordinary day, in the middle of unfinished plans, and the world will continue without you.
So live ….

Grief has a way of revealing things.
Things we didn’t even know were inside us.

Before loss, we move through life,
loving deeply, but not always realizing,
just how much our hearts are capable of holding.

Then grief arrives.
And suddenly, everything hurts.

That’s when you realize,
“This pain didn’t come from nowhere,
it came from love.”

A broken heart isn’t the end of your story.
It’s the evidence that you loved someone,
and that kind of love leaves a mark.

After my last post, many of you started reviewing your cremation policies…

And what you’re finding is eye-opening.

Most policies are written for Direct Cremation ONLY
👉 meaning the other items are NOT included and will be additional costs.

But here’s the bigger issue…

👉 Check your beneficiary.

Some policies list the funeral home — or even an individual — as the beneficiary.

At Tri-City, the beneficiary is the estate of the insured.
That means after services are paid, any remaining money goes back to the family.

⚠️ Changing funeral homes does NOT change your beneficiary.
You must update that separately with your insurance company.

And even if you choose not to switch to Tri-City,
👉 you still need to verify your beneficiary is correct.

✔ Verify what’s INCLUDED
✔ Verify who the BENEFICIARY is

If it’s not right, you can fix it.

Just call your insurance company and say:
“I want to change my funeral home to Tri-City Crematory Funeral Home.”
…and ask them to review and update your beneficiary if needed.

Simple.

Many families are finding out that their cremation policy or pre-need plan does not include all the line items they were told it did. If it is not written in the contract, it can be charged at the time of death.

If you are told everything is included,
👉 ask them to put every item in writing on the contract or edit an existing contract ✅

Several people have asked how to switch to us. It’s simple. Just call the insurance company that holds the policy and say:

“I want to change my funeral home to Tri-City Crematory Funeral Home.”

The insurance company will handle the change.

Also, many do not realize — 👉 If your policy is for several thousand dollars and the cremation costs less, the remaining balance is refunded to the family at the time of death. That money will be issued back to the family. ✅

At Tri-City, we keep it simple.

If you could see what your prayers are doing, you would never stop.

You would pray in the car without hesitation.
You would pray in the kitchen without distraction.
You would pray in the middle of the night without wondering if it matters.

Because prayer is not small.
It is movement.

While you’re whispering, heaven is responding.
While you’re crying, angels are being dispatched.
While you’re declaring, things are shifting that you cannot yet see. Prayer is not a routine for believers. It is a weapon.

Second Corinthians 10:4 says,
“The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for pulling down strongholds.”

Strongholds don’t break with effort. They break with authority and prayer is where that authority is released.

That anxiety you’ve been carrying?
Prayer confronts it.

That situation that feels stuck?
Prayer moves it.

That atmosphere in your home?
Prayer changes it.

You are not powerless in your life. You have access.

James 5:16 says,
“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

Powerful.
Effective.

That means something happens every time you pray.
Even when you don’t feel it.
Even when you don’t see it.
Even when nothing looks different yet.

Something moved. The enemy wants you distracted. He wants you tired. He wants you thinking it’s not working, because m a woman who prays consistently is a woman who cannot be stopped.

So pray again.

Pray over your home.
Pray over your children.
Pray over your mind.
Pray over your future.

Because every time you open your mouth in faith, you are partnering with heaven to change what once felt impossible.

And that kind of power?
It changes everything.

God is a God of restoration. He repairs, renews, reestablishes and revives our lives after we go though great losses, heartbreaks and difficult challenges that took something from us as we navigated our way through them.

He will never leave our lives stagnant in a place where we’ve experienced any kind of loss, harm or damage in our lives.

"I will restore the years the locusts have eaten" (Joel 2:25)

Whatever the locusts of life have eaten and stolen from us, He promises to return to us and return more than we initially lost.

That time we saw as wasted, God was still working good things in our lives to prepare His blessings for the future still ahead of us. Not only to redeem that time that was lost but to fill our time left with abundantly more.

Those opportunities and doors we walked through that didn’t lead us to where we wanted or that we thought were shut forever will never stop God from creating new and even better doors of opportunity to walk through.

Those wounds of heartache that have left you sad, hurt and devastated, He will bind up those wounds with His comfort and love to revive your Spirit and heal your heart.

Psalms 147:3 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds”

Our mistakes, transgressions and all the wrong paths we may have taken, God forgives us as He lovingly redirects us and teaches us valuable life lessons so we can do better.

There is nothing that God can’t redeem, repair, restore or renew in our lives.

And always remember what we personally see as impossible is where we can begin to see how great God’s power of restoration in our lives truly is.

For nothing is impossible for God and He is always working in our lives to add more of His amazing goodness and to bring more of His loving presence to us❤️ ~ SueMarie
