When my sister died unexpectedly, I felt completely lost and overwhelmed by grief. Reading this book by Megan Devine gave me the space to feel my pain, understand that healing doesn’t mean forgetting, and feeling broken can be a beautiful part of the process.

Beware the urge to spiritually bypass grief- yours or anyone else’s. If spirituality and religion are a comfort to you that is wonderful, but neither are a bypass or fast track through grief. Grieving is a process.

Will 2025 be the year that aquamation, an eco-friendly alternative to cremation, becomes legal in Indiana?

In 28 states, alkaline hydrolysis, known as "aquamation," is a legal way to dissolve human remains, but it's not in the Hoosier state.

May all beings be safe.
May all beings be loved.
May all beings be remembered.
May all beings be mourned.
Do not forget that the ashes falling from the sky are all that remains of the pine and grass and thistle and bear and coyote and deer and mouse that could not escape. Scoop some up in a sacred manner. Take it to your altar. Offer prayers for those beings. Honor their death. Pray for life. Call in rain. Remind Fire that it is full, has gobbled enough, and can rest. May all beings be safe. May all beings be loved. May all beings be remembered. May all beings be mourned.

Did you know that you can go to the crematorium with your loved one? Witness cremation is a meaningful service where loved ones can be present during the cremation process. It is a comforting way to honor a life while being actively involved in the final farewell.
