Speaking at a celebration of life.

A celebration of life is a chance to share stories, memories, and love. If you’re asked to speak, here are a few tips:

- Keep it personal - Share a favourite memory or share what made them special to you.
- Stay positive - Focus on their life, achievements, and the joy they brought.
- Be authentic - Speak from the heart; it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Often, a celebrant or family member will lead the service, but many celebrations invite guests to share a story or tribute. Your words can help others heal and keep their memory alive.

Share a hug with family and friends.

Every year on the 21st January, we remind ourselves of the importance of physical touch and emotional connection. This can also be beneficial to those experiencing bereavement.

The simple act of sharing a hug can have a profoundly positive impact on people with benefits to your health, stress reduction, feelings of happiness and sense of security.

Today is Brew Monday, an initiative created by the charity Samaritans to counter 'Blue Monday'.

We encourage you to reach out to family, friends or colleagues for a chat over tea or coffee, to help combat loneliness and provide emotional support. However you are able to, the simple act of checking in with someone can have a huge positive impact.

Anna, Trish and our team at our Binley Road branch received these kind words of thanks recently from a family we looked after.

Anna was lovely and very thorough the booking and confirming all the arrangements. Trish was also really helpful at responding to queries and always came back to me really quickly. All of the team on the day were very professional and couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The team made a difficult day as easy as it could be.

How to celebrate the life of a loved one.

A celebration of life is all about honouring your loved one in a way that feels personal and meaningful. It can be part of a non-religious funeral, or a separate memorial held days or weeks later. Here are some ideas to make it special:

- Choose a dress code that reflects their personality. This could be bright colours or their favourite shade.
- Pick a unique venue or transport, like a VW campervan or a twilight service under fairy lights.
- Share music, readings, and memories that celebrate who they were.
- Add personal touches like a memory board or items that remind you of them.

To open the New Year, we will be exploring the concept of the ‘celebration of life’.

What is a Celebration of Life?
A celebration of life is a heartfelt way to honour someone who has passed by focusing on their legacy, joy, and the memories they’ve left behind. Unlike traditional funerals, these gatherings are often uplifting, encouraging family and friends to share stories and celebrate their loved one’s impact. It’s not just saying goodbye, it’s remembering how they lived and the love they gave.

Being proactive.

Grief can be isolating and it’s tempting to stay at home over the cold Christmas period. But it’s important to get yourself out of the house to prevent isolation. A winter walk for some fresh air could be a good way to relieve anxiety.

Focussing on the needs of others is a very rewarding experience and encourages you to engage with different people. For that reason, volunteering is a good way to help cope with grief. It also allows those who want to skip the festivities an opportunity to feel good during Christmas.
