Found in Florida! So one of the owners of a hotel, Judi was walking on the beach this morning cleaning up the junk that washed into shore and finds a bottle with a message in it. There is also some sand and 2 one dollar bills. Once we get it open and read the notes we find out that it is in fact NOT sand. It is the ashes of this woman's husband of 70 years named Gordon. She writes that He loved to travel so she sent him traveling in a bottle with a note and money for someone to call home and tell her where he landed. He started at Big Pine Key in March of 2012 and then went to Islamorada where someone found him.

They added a note and sent him traveling again and he landed on our beach in Key Colony. Judi called the wife in Tennessee who was excited to know of Gordon's travels! Judi added her note, we put him in a rum bottle (you know added a little fun to his trip) with the three notes. We added another dollar in case Gordon travels far and a long distance call is needed. We will be having a memorial service or celebration of his life on our beach later today before sending him on his way again." ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Shared with permission from a grief group:

A list of words that might be useful - there are never really any words that feel helpful - the sense of helplessness is a part of it all - when we are hurting - bereft... there are many emotions... and it also shows parts of us we did not know we had - shows feelings we have not met ever before - thoughts we did not think we could think - fears and loneliness like no other - and anger so deep and so raw that we do not want to face it or own it - It is the depth of our love which brings all this forward in grief - and it is in loving, that ease and relief comes forward

Natural burials offer both a memorial and a way to remediate land. They can even help urban planning.

Today is International Bereaved Mother’s Day, a day created to recognise mums around the world who have lost a baby or a child.

According to Sands Australia, up to one in four confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage before 20 weeks while approximately 3,000 babies are either stillborn or die in the first 28 days after birth.

In a piece for The Mighty, mum Tracy Sheppard offers this advice: “If you know a bereaved mother, give her a hug, let her know you haven’t forgotten her angel. To hear others speak our child’s name, is a hopeful whisper to our ears and hearts.

“This bereaved Mother’s Day, my heart and love go out to all my “soul sisters,” the many mothers who are living without their child on this earth and in their arms.

“My wish for all of us is that this day will be a day filled with joyous and loving memories of our precious children. May we all have the strength to continue on our journey of keeping their memories alive, and finding joy, knowing our children will never be forgotten as long as we have breath left in us.”

Our thoughts are with you today and every day 💕

Cashed-up baby boomers are thumbing their noses at tradition and ending their lives on their own terms, pre-planning their deaths by engaging death doulas, visiting death cafes and even opting for burial without a coffin.

This gentleman embraced the fond memory of growing up with limited means. As a child he was always excited to get a new pair of shoes. His request for his funeral, in lieu of flowers, was to ask for shoes for kids in need.
