Download Confessions of a Funeral Director Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The blogger behind Confessions of a Funeral Director—what Time magazine called a "must read"—reflects on mortality and the powerful lessons death holds for every one of us in this compassionate and thoughtful spiritual memoir that combines the humor and insight of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes with the poignancy and brevity of When Breath Becomes Air. We are a people who deeply fear death. While humans are biologically wired to evade death for as long as possible, we have become too adept at hiding from it, vilifying it, and—when it can be avoided no longer—letting the professionals take over. Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde understands this reticence and fear. He had planned to get as far away from the family business as possible. He wanted to make a difference in the world, and how could he do that if all the people he worked with were . . . dead? Slowly, he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones was making a difference—in other people’s lives to be sure, but it also seemed to be saving his own. A spirituality of death began to emerge as he observed: The family who lovingly dressed their deceased father for his burial The act of embalming a little girl that offered a gift back to her grieving family The nursing home that honored a woman’s life by standing in procession as her body was taken away The funeral that united a conflicted community Through stories like these, told with equal parts humor and poignancy, Wilde offers an intimate look into the business and a new perspective on living and dying

Download Comforting the Bereaved Through Listening and Positive Responding Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
We don’t seem to handle grief very well—whether it’s our own or someone close to us. Part of the problem is that we live in a death- denying society; where many people feel awkward using terms like death, dying, or dead. We rarely say that someone has died, and instead use metaphors to soften the blow. This book helps families, friends, colleagues, and professionals to understand what someone who has lost a loved one is feeling. Topics include the death of a child, teen, adult/older adult, spouse, sibling, mentally challenged individuals, death of a pet and pets grieve too. The author answers questions such as: · Why are there fewer rituals surrounding death today? · What do you say to someone who has lost a loved one? · How long do the bereaved continue to grieve? · What does it mean to be going through complicated grief? Grief is the great equalizer, and no matter who or what we are, or how rich or poor, grief can bring us to our knees. But you can navigate it in a healthier way with the lessons in Comforting the Bereaved through Listening and Positive Responding.
