Social Media can play an important part in the healing process in many individuals who are dealing with grief; especially during the pandemic. Annie Horton has created emerging.grief, an Instagram account aimed at providing bereavement support in an online community setting. She's shared her own stories of loss, including the death of her brother-in-law Nick Cordero. http://ow.ly/pMkd50Cbws0
Here are a few suggestions from Dr. Bill Webster on Self Care for Caregivers: Set aside some quality time every day to look after your own needs. Try to eat regularly, even if you don’t feel hungry. Healthy foods, rather than fast food or snacks, will help to keep your system going.... Drink lots of fluids like water or juice to help prevent dehydration. Limit your caffeine intake, especially coffee, tea, chocolate or soft drinks, which may only make you feel more stressed. Try to get periods of rest and sleep. There are many strategies which can assist relaxation, but if sleep is still difficult, speak to your family doctor. Try to slow down. Take periods of time to stop, think and process your feelings in order to calm the confusion within. Try to do something for yourself everyday. Take time out to go out for a meal, see a movie, play golf, or even go for a walk or visit friends. Try not to feel guilty about taking a break from the responsibility of caring for your loved one. Let someone else take over from you for an evening or even a weekend. Work through your feelings. You may feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster, up one day and down the next. Your feelings are an expression of your inner turmoil, so let yourself feel them and try to figure out what they are teaching you. Ask for and accept other people’s offers to help. Let your employer and your co-workers know what is going on in your life. Speak to your doctor if you need to arrange for time off, or a leave of absence, or a lighter workload. Above all, give yourself constant encouragement and positive feedback. Just because you are unable to fix the problem does not mean that what you are doing is not significant and successful. You are doing your very best in an impossible situation.
It's time to order your Winter Wreaths. Please reach out to place your order for your loved one.
Publishing an online obituary allows a family more opportunities to share about their loved one. Photos, special moments and a life story can all be centralized in the guestbook, as well as allowing for digital condolences. It can also act as a permanent memorial that the family can revisit on occasion to re-read some of the messages left by other family members and friends. Many online guestbooks also offer the opportunity for guests to share a photo along with the condolence. Below are some tips to help you craft your message of sympathy and support.
Whether you are celebrating virtually or in person, we wish you and your family a happy and safe Thanksgiving .. . Gobble, Gobble!

The following article shares 5 changes that you might go through in the ongoing cycle of grief and loss. http://ow.ly/DsgL50BDymA
The New Normal? Written by: Laura Van Sprang, Manager at Sands Funeral Chapel Victoria This is a statement we are hearing more & more each day as time passes while trying to navigate our lives during this pandemic. Are we doing everything we can to stay safe? Are we becoming too relaxed? When will we be able to travel & visit people farther away? Families are faced with so many new ways of doing things & figuring out how to cope & find joy in this new world. How stressful of... a time for us all. During such a complicated & ever changing time there are still some things that are out of our control. Things we are unable to put off until a less already trying time, or postpone until we can have the community support we will need. I am speaking about death & losing someone you love during this time. The funeral profession has also been impacted extremely hard because of COVID and have worked around the clock to figure out ways to assist our bereaved community members who have had a significant loss during this time. Our trained funeral professionals take time with each family to ensure all their wishes are expressed & they are guided through the very difficult first days of their grief. We are still able to gather safely in smaller numbers for an intimate service and livestream to those who cannot attend. We too, are not used to masks & the distance we must keep between each other and those we want to comfort, but we are still here to support you, listen & assist. No matter what happens in the uncertain future, we want you to know that we will do everything we can to ensure you & your family are cared for when someone you love passes away. We will continue to work hard to adhere to the health guidelines and keep our buildings, teams & communities safe. We will keep finding new ways to bring the support to those in need & promise there will always be someone to answer your call if and when the time comes, no matter what the new normal looks like.

Should you choose cremation or burial for your loved one or yourself? To make the right decision, the first step is to fully understand each option. Cremation is the process of incinerating a deceased body, ultimately reducing it to a granular substance referred to as cremated remains or "ashes." A casket or suitable container is still required when cremation is chosen. Burial is the act of placing the deceased into a casket which is lowered into a grave and covered with eart...h, or entombed in a crypt above ground. Factors to consider include: Personal choice: Are there positive or negative feelings about each process? Range of options: The style of permanent memorial may influence your choice. There are a wide variety of creative solutions for both burial and cremation memorials. Comparing cost: While cremation is often considered the less expensive choice, the final costs can vary depending on the options chosen. Religion or tradition: Some cultures or religions specify how the deceased is to be interred. Spouse’s wishes: When preferences differ, there are options for couples who want to be together forever.

Today we are sharing the final article from Dr. Bill Webster's series on handing your own grief. The final recommendation - Be good to yourself - spiritually Bereavement can shake and challenge your entire belief system. For those who have a faith in God, loss can bring a critical turning point in that faith. You may feel angry that God has not answered your prayers, and question why He has allowed this to happen.... You may wonder what is the purpose in all this. Many do not have a faith in God, yet their beliefs about life itself may be affected by the death. Life is not always fair. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. This death may have meant not only the end of the relationship but also the death of many of your hopes and dreams. The death of someone you care about can challenge some long held beliefs about the way life should be. In the days ahead you will need to work through some of these issues. Hopefully you have a spiritual advisor who understands the grieving process, accepts you as a hurting person, listens non-judgmentally to your grief questions, and assists you to find meaning. Remember, there are no easy answers. Faith enables us to accept what we may not understand. - Dr. Bill Webster
