Today is international self-care day. While self-care is important for everyone, it's also particularly important for people dealing with a bereavement and coping with grief.

We understand how draining and overwhelming a bereavement can be, but it can be worse when you're also the person responsible for arranging the funeral. We'd encourage everyone to take some time out for themselves. Before and/or after the funeral. It doesn't matter if the funeral/loss was months or years ago, self-care is important

A range of interviews given by those that have received a terminal diagnosis, their loved ones and their care givers. A thought provoking watch to encourage us all to talk more about dying, a subject that is often avoided until it is too late.

Hospice UK and Marie Curie have partnered with Same But Different to create an honest, raw, and inspiring account of what matters most to people at the end of life.

In 1858, Henrietta Bowers Duterte became the first female undertaker/mortician in America. That's not all, she was African American and part of the Underground rail road. Henrietta went on to use her position in this profession to help many enslaved people escape; by pretending to be dead in coffins, or sometimes dressed in fine clothing as part of the funeral procession, a great risk to herself. The amount of people she saved is undocumented.

After the Civil War, Henrietta went on to travel across the country to speak on behalf of women's rights.

An amazing story to share about an amazing lady for Black History month.

Interesting fact Thursday

Wakes were originally held in case the deceased returned to life.

It is believed that the tradition of a wake can be traced back to pre-christian times, where family members would keep a constant vigil over their deceased loves ones in case they woke up. It is also believed that this vigil would help to prevent evil spirits from taking hold. Typically this type of wake would be held before the funeral or burial.

That is quite a difference to why wakes are held today.
