Looking for a meaningful gift that new or expecting parents will love 😍 Look no further...

At the heart of a baby dedication or new life ceremony is a commitment by the parents and all loved ones in attendance to support the baby in developing the core values and traits that a child needs to grow and thrive 💓 The ceremonial importance of verbalizing this commitment and then signing the 'Village Manifesto' inspires a call to action 👉 let's work together to raise the next generation!

Reach out today to learn more and see why this is truly the GIFT OF A LIFETIME!

FUNERAL ANXIETY IS REAL 😬

Many people get that anxious, sweaty palm feeling when thinking about attending a funeral, celebration of life or family visitation. This can be caused by a number of factors: fear of saying goodbye, feeling overwhelmed at social events, not knowing what to wear, uncertainty about what is going to happen or difficulty expressing emotions and not knowing what to say.

Please know that none of that matters. What REALLY MATTERS is simply that you are there. No one is going to remember what you wore or likely even what you said, but they will remember that you were there and will appreciate you for it ❤️

‼️ I’ve had first hand experience in palliative care and hospice availability and know how very important this is ‼️

Saturday is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day.

Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life for individuals and their families from the time of diagnosis through to bereavement.

To improve access to support and comfort for those facing serious illness, Ontario is investing nearly $20M to build 84 additional hospice beds across the province.

My favourite thing when performing funeral services is learning about people 😍 I’m always humbled and inspired by what is shared with me by loved ones.

❓ARE YOUR PLANS IN PLACE?
❗️Pre-planning doesn't require pre-paying.
⁉️Document your wishes now for how you'd like to be celebrated and remembered.

Consider what you say...

Instead of saying, "I know what it feels like", let's say "I cannot imagine your heartbreak".

Instead of saying, "You're strong, you'll get through this, let's say " You'll hurt, and I'll be here.

Instead of saying, "You look like you're doing well, Let's say, "How are you holding up today?"

Instead of saying, "Healing takes time", let's say "Healing has no timeline".

Instead of saying, "Everything happens for a reason, let's say "This must feel so terribly senseless right now".

And when there are no words to say at all, you don't need to try and find some. Love speaks in silences too.

All but two of the funeral services that I’ve conducted have been live-streamed 💻📱 to a virtual audience. Most have personalized slideshows and videos as well and the choice of any music 🎵 in the world! Digital wills, life lockers, video messages and QR codes are changing the memorial landscape too. Technology is here to stay and I’m so happy that it’s being embraced in the funeral industry too 😍

My mom passed away 2 years ago today, but has continued to impact so much positive change in my life…

💫 I am a funeral celebrant because of her
💫 I openly talk about death and dying because of her
💫 I understand the importance of life and living because of her
💫 I am always because of her
💫 I have an up-to-date will because of her
💫 I feel so much empathy to loved ones who have experienced loss because of her
💫 I wrote out my wishes for my own celebration of life because of her
💫 I look for lessons in everyone’s life story because of her

Simply put, I am who I am because of her ❤️

GRIEF is the most complicated, complex and challenging emotion that I have ever experienced 😢 Let today be a reminder to you to be there for and walk beside those you love on their grief journey by offering genuine support and compassion.

Human connection is vital to those suffering loss. Send a message letting them know they are never far from your mind. If it feels right, ask them to join you for a coffee to listen and laugh together. Then, set a date for another visit. You will both leave feeling loved and supported ❤️

*** Note: National Grief and Bereavement Day in Canada is the third Tuesday in November, this year landing on the 19th, but this important topic is worth recognizing today along with our US friends as well.

❓❓DID YOU KNOW❓❓
A columbarium is a structure where urns are placed inside designated niches. Usually found in cemeteries, these are becoming a very popular above ground option for cremated remains, as they are still marked with personal information and provide a beautiful spot for loved ones to visit ❤️

I hear it all of the time...
