Remembering Well offers family members, clergy, funeral professionals, and hospice workers ways to plan services and rituals that honor the spirit of the deceased and are faithful to that person's values and beliefs, while also respecting the needs and wishes of those who will attAnd the services. It is an essential resource for anyone who yearns to put death in a spiritual context but is unsure how to do so-including both those who have broken with tradition and those who wish to give new meaning to the time-honored rituals of their faith. The real-life stories, examples, and practical guidelines in this book address a wide array of important issues, including the difficult decisions that survivors must make quickly when a death occurs-and the sensitive topic of family alienation, where possibilities for healing, forgiveness, and hope are explored. The invaluable insights offered here will help those who grieve to prepare mind and spirit for life's final rites of passage. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This is a book useful in the week after a death as you search for ways to grieve in a communal way. There is also a chapter on washing the body; I wish I had read that 10 years ago and been prepared. As a Roman Catholic, I am steeped in ritual, but this author has helped me imagine ways in which this rich liturgical tradition might be shared more widely and ways in which the tradition itself might be enriched. For example: in speaking of someone (what we might call a eulogy, but which Sarah York calls a soul sketch) it's not enough to say someone loved children or had a sense of humor: you need concrete examples of this.
