You came naked
You will leave naked
You came without anything
You will leave without anything
You arrived weak
You will leave weak
So, why so much hatred, resentment, envy, selfishness and pride?
We will all go empty handed, what all material things we have earned, we earned here, and will leave everything here only.
The only thing that will go with you, that you actually earned here is the love you shared, the compassion you showed, the humbleness, your gratitude, your helpfulness, your kindness.
That is the legacy you will leave here that everyone will follow.

I ask that you spend 11 minutes of your day watching this. I'd appreciate your feedback and thoughts.
How did you feel? Did your opinion of death shift? Is this something you would consider?

For some reason today I had a reflection on something, and I wanted to share. It's probably due to the current families I am working with. When my father was brought home on hospice the pandemic had just begun. You couldn't find toilet paper (you remember) the shelves were empty! Well.. all this man wanted was EGGS!!! I couldn't find them anywhere. I jumped on our Nextdoor App and found eggs for my dad. A couple morals to this story. When people are transitioning and you need things ask for help from anywhere you would be surprised and 2nd When someone is transitioning and they want something you give it to them, it does not matter what it is. In my dad's final weeks, he no longer wanted eggs on a rare occasion he wanted watermelon with ALOT of salt and I made sure he had it. The entire time of his transition his diet mainly consists of whiskey and a Miller Lite. I will say he passed a happy man.

Did you know! Time to take a look at all options. Home funerals are beautiful!

What is an in-home funeral?

Did you know that it is perfectly legal to care for your loved one after they have died and prepare them for burial?

Personal funeral, home death care, or in-home funerals all express the process of keeping a deceased body at home for some time (a few hours to a few days) rather than having them carried quickly after they have taken their last breath—is legal in all states.

End-of-Life Practitioners and Death doulas are often trained to help families navigate the end-of-life burial/funeral decisions, help create a sacred ceremony honoring the dead, and assist families in saying goodbye.

Are you aware that you can deny embalming and we can personally transport a loved one’s body to their final place of rest such as a cemetery, crematorium, and even, in some cases, a home burial?

Families are learning to navigate these delicate undertakings with help from End-of-Life Practitioners who have extensive training focused on helping families navigate the end-of-life burial/funeral decisions, helping to create a sacred ceremony honoring the dead, assisting families in saying good-bye, and many other skills focused on supporting the dying and their families.

Up until the Civil War, most people died at home, surrounded by family and home funerals were the standard of care. However, the desire to preserve soldiers' bodies for transporting their remains produced the need for embalming which then became more widespread. This era of history also gave birth to the use of funeral homes and hospitals, which further created a barrier between the living and the dead. This was the point in American History when we began to lose the intimacy with death that continues today in our caring for our dead.

Touching, loving, cleansing, oiling, and being with our dead can be a very comforting experience that provides an opportunity for families to take time in saying good-bye and begin the unfathomable assimilation of—DEATH.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can provide you with any additional information on home death care, personal funeral, or in-home funerals. These services are offered for those who may wish to consider these options for end-of-life care.

The hardest thing to do, to bury our children. This family chose to honor their child with a Lego casket.

What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us. – – Helen Keller

We all perceive death differently. For myself growing up laughter was how we got through the tough times!
