Grief support groups are free and available to anyone in the community who has experienced a loss. Generally, they meet once or twice a month year-round. These groups are beneficial because they provide a place to begin sharing your grief with others who have suffered a loss. They also promote building long-term supportive relationships.

Development of Compassionate Communities We have received a large number of responses to our survey on Compassionate Communities since it was launched in Spring 2023. We will use what you tell us to inform the key aims of our Compassionate Communities project. Here is some of the feedback that you have kindly shared with us so far: • Nearly 50% of people told us that they felt isolated after a bereavement. • 72% of people felt that a support group made up of people with similar experiences would be of particular help to carers and family members and 55% of people would be interested in supporting such a group. • 64% of people also felt that a telephone support line would be helpful. • 82% of people who had experienced a bereavement told us that the opportunity to share memories of the person who had died helped them and 72% of people found it useful to do something in memory of their loved one. A huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to complete our survey and to help inform our plans. There is still the opportunity to help shape our work on the development of Compassionate Communities. If you are able to, please log on to our website using the link below and answer a few questions. It should take no more than 5 minutes: https://lnkd.in/eyRY_WWg

Grief Specialist & Funeral Officiant. Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and skilful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
Steve says: 'It is evident that funeral ceremonies serve as an essential springboard for managing grief post-funeral. By providing cathartic structure, community support, and emotional expression, funeral ceremonies play a vital role in helping us navigate the complexities of grief.' In every ceremony Steve creates, there are five components. Steve calls them his 5 C's. Look out for his series of posts coming soon. #funeralservice #funeralceremony

When someone passes away, it's not easy. It doesn't happen often enough to know what to do and people can become lost not only in grief, but what to even do next. Here are the top 5 things people typically do: 1. Notify Family and Friends: Reach out to close family and friends to inform them of the loss. 2. Arrange for Care of the Deceased: Contact a funeral home or service to take care of the body. 3. Plan a Memorial or Funeral Service: Organize a gathering to honor and remember the deceased. 4. Handle Legal and Financial Matters: Address the will, estate, and any financial affairs. 5. Seek Support: Lean on loved ones or grief counseling for emotional support during this difficult time. #GriefSupport #CopingWithLoss #EndOfLifePlanning

❓Question: How do you heal from grief? 💬 Answer: You don’t. And that’s okay. We live in a culture that pathologizes grief, expecting people to “move on” from loss and neatly package up their complex emotions. But that’s not how it works! Join us on Wednesday at 12 pm ET for an Instagram Live chat with Sarah Hines. Through her work at Grief Advocacy, Sarah helps individuals and groups cultivate healthier relationships with grief. She’ll tell us about her work, and what needs to happen to break the stigma surrounding bereavement. Make sure to join us on Instagram at @viiveplanning! Hope to see you there! #AgingandEndofLifePlanning #LegacyPlanning #AgingPlanning #EndofLifePlanning #EstatePlanning #FinancialPlanning

Eulogies are the heart of any funeral or memorial service, the essence of the deceased person. It's natural to freak out when asked. Our minds swirl with perhaps where to start, what to say, how will I go speaking, how will I be received. Stress is all part and parcel of it. However, please know this - to be asked to deliver one, is special. The feeling after - way more than you can ever imagine. There are a heap of on-line tools to help you if ever the opportunity presents itself. Alternatively, head to the Everything Funeral website and you will find the '7 Steps on How to Write a Eulogy' under the resources tab. Today I had an opportunity to present the 7 Steps to a networking group. It was humbling to receive positive feedback at making something feared enlightened, to be slightly more confidently possible for the audience. Lastly, reach out to me when an opportunity presents itself for further encouragement or help where needed. Warm Regards, Brent Everything Funeral - Advocacy • Celebrant • Facilitation & Group Presentations• Grief Tools #everythingfuneralnz #funeralplanning #eulogy #funeralcelebrant #celebrant #funerals
