HEALING & TRANSITION Funerals/Memorial Services, Divorces, Survivor Ceremonies, Pet Memorials The healing power of ritual can ease painful transitions as well as acknowledge joyous ones. Nothing can take away the grief from the death of a loved one, but a genuine, well-prepared tribute eases the pain. A ceremony honoring the person who has passed away, can give the living an opportunity to come to terms with this passing. Survivors of tragedies and disasters, with their loved ones, can express emotions and discover new clarity, meaning and resolution in their lives as they begin to move on. I welcome the opportunity to design ceremonies for those of you who have come through personal challenges such as an illness or alcohol or drug addiction. Divorce Ceremonies recognize the hurt and pain that divorce causes, and mark the process of healing and the journey forward. The Ceremony process does not reject the past, but reclaims it. We encourage friends and family to gather in the spirit of acceptance and love, and to welcome a new day with renewed commitments for growth and fulfillment. As with all of my ceremonies, I am guided by your beliefs. I work with you, to choose the words that are spoken; the stories that are told; the readings and the music used. I am honored to craft such ceremonies for all members of a family including pets. Please contact me to discuss your tribute.
