Come To Your Own Funeral

11 Feb Come To Your Own Funeral

Have you been to a funeral service where your loved one’s name was rarely mentioned? Perhaps you walked away feeling numb, even more lost, than when you walked in. Your loved one has simply vanished into a cookie cutter ritual. But what about the family vacations, what about their crazy laugh, the ridiculous shoe collection or all of the lives they literally saved? The amazing life of someone you loved has ended. The amazing journey you shared with them is over. If you are an animal lover (and I hope you are), could you imagine not giving your furbaby the honour of speaking about them, sharing pictures and carving out a sacred place to store all of the magical memories you created together?

Please, oh please, reconsider the words to your family of, “I don’t want anything, just plant me.” You are trying to save them the pain of the dreaded funeral, I get that. So let’s remove that dark & soul paralyzing stigma of funerals long ago. You want the best for your loved ones. You want to protect them from any more pain. And you can! Come ~ Come to your own funeral!! Allow your family & friends to spend an afternoon reliving the milestones, the magic and even mistakes of your one-of-a-kind life. Your death is a big deal. People need you most at that time ~ do you get that? Allow your journey to be presented and pieced out into everyone’s hearts. Be the comfort they are craving by allowing them to take a heartfelt final walk with you down memory lane. This is that “when it all comes down to it” moment. You are gone physically but never to be forgotten. Let your life story be the bridge for those to hold on to as they pass over the swirling waters of grief. You are the final gift they need.
