Dying, death, and funerals: An opportunity for meaning and connection
Nobody wants to talk about them, but everybody needs to deal with them. Fear of the process and the expense are often a barrier to families experiencing the healing power and even the joy of a well-considered end-of-life and funeral. But when we empower ourselves with the knowledge of what we can ask for, what we can say ‘Yes’ to and what we can say ‘No’ to, we open ourselves up to the opportunity of a truly meaningful experience.
This session will dispel some myths, spark some ideas, and offer some options in the area of death, dying, and funerals. It will help you understand how to ensure a meaningful experience that is affordable and accessible to everyone in your family.
