There’s nothing simple about death.
When I attended Bartholomew Funeral Home’s “Blue Christmas,” I witnessed this thought manifested in the statements of those who came to honor their loved ones who had passed.
The event reminded me of the truth that grieving is a process and pathway to peace, and reinforced the power of open ears, and an open heart. I saw healing in their words and comfort in the knowledge those words were heard by others who cared.
There was strength in the comfort of others.
Bartholomew understands this strength, and offers bereavement services to those who need help in their journey to heal. Additionally, on their website you can find a list of carefully curated resources to help you on your own personal journey to recovery. The links selected cover topics ranging from talking with your children about a loved one’s death, to discussion boards and forums for you to connect with others going through a similar situation.
These resources, in other words, have everything you need to remind yourself that you are not alone during grieving; that there are others out there, like the caring team at Bartholomew, who are there when you need them.
And if you do decide to reach out to Bartholomew, just know that your voice will be heard by a team that is truly there to listen and help.
I saw it myself that one snowy December day.
