Rebecca's Funeral Services

Having lost both mum and dad to this insidious disease, I understand this all too well. If you have someone living with the dementia, I hope this helps you 💕

“If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things”.

1a. (This is my personal experience add on). “Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Mom- it’s Rebecca.” “NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety”.

Rebecca 💙

1. “If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality”.

2. “If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it”.

3. “If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you”.

4. “If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me”.

5. “If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself”.

6. “If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded”.

7. “If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am”.

8. “If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friend”..

9. “If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past”.

10. “If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me”.

11. “If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated”.

12. “If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need”.

13. “If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room”.

14. “If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live, but please continue to visit me”.

15. “If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often”.

16. “If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault”.

17. “If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot”.

18. “If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place”.

19. “If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings”.

20. “If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes”.

21. “If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love, evenn if I don’t remember”.

ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s Disease.

😢 Grief Doesn’t Have an Expiry Date

😢 Grief isn’t something you simply “get over”—it’s something you learn to live with. It doesn’t follow a timeline or fade away after a set period. Some days, it feels distant, like a quiet echo. Other days, it rushes in like a wave, as raw as the day it began.

😢 You don’t have to justify your grief or rush your healing. Missing someone years later doesn’t mean you haven’t moved forward—it means they mattered, and they always will.

😢 Grief changes, but it never truly leaves. And that’s okay.

Rebecca 💙

So sorry for your loss Hayley 💔

Hayley makes clay urns with your loved ones ashes at Conscious Clay - Ashes into Art

Returning to Clay, Returning to You

It’s been a while since I’ve shared anything here, and I wanted to take a moment to explain why.

My father recently passed away, and in the quiet that followed, I stepped back from social media to hold space for grief, for family, and for reflection. Losing him has deepened my understanding of the work I do—the significance of creating vessels that honour and hold memory.

Now, as I return to the studio, I do so with an even stronger sense of purpose. Every piece I make carries the weight of connection, of love, of what remains when someone we cherish is gone.

Thank you for your patience and your kindness. I look forward to sharing more soon.

With love,
Hayley

To beautiful not to share 💞

“I hope more than anything that you are at peace, free of pain and in the most beautiful place.
You deserve that and so much more.
I wish that I could hug you one more time... or see your smile..or hear your laugh.
I want to thank you for everything you've ever done for me, for every sacrifice you made, for every bit of knowledge you left me with, and for all of the unconditional love you always gave without question.
I hope you knew how much you meant to me.
I hope you knew how grateful I was to have had you in my life.
I hope you knew how safe you made me feel.
You were my comfort, you were my rock...you were my home.
I hope that you can somehow still feel my LOVE”.
