Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences of one’s life. After a loved one passes, families can experience devastation, confusion, guilt, and regret. The road to healing can be challenging to navigate if essential needs and feelings are not appropriately addressed.

The mourning process can take an extensive amount of time to work through. Staying in touch and gathering with others should not end immediately after the death occurs. Try to continue to gather together throughout the entire grieving process.

Ancient Egyptians believed that at the end, they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife.

The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?" ~ Leo Buscaglia

The importance of having the body present.

Having the body present allows the reality of the situation to sink in. Often, mourners approach a body and literally say things like, “she really passed.” While some people may think that this sounds strange, it's a necessary part of the road to healing.

What is a Memorial Service?

A Memorial Service is similar to a Funeral Service, but it does not involve the presence of a body. Memorial services offer significant flexibility, allowing families additional time to come together and honor their loved one. It is quite common for a memorial service to take place over a month after the individual has passed away.

Let's Talk About Death

Dear….

Death is one of the most sensitive topics we face, yet it’s the one experience we all share. Still, many avoid talking about it until it’s right in front of them.

What if we allowed ourselves to explore it… gently, openly, and together?

A Series on Death Awareness

You're invited to a meaningful series of gatherings at The Center for Transforming Lives, where we’ll come together to explore the topic of death with openness, curiosity, and compassion.

These workshops are part of a three-part series on Death Awareness, designed to help us reflect on endings—not with fear, but with presence and insight. Whether you've experienced loss, are navigating life transitions, or simply feel called to explore this often-avoided subject, you're welcome to attend one, two, or all three sessions.

Each gathering is unique yet connected by a shared intention:
To bring death into the light so we may live more fully.
