The loss of a loved one has never been more difficult than during these times.

As a culture, we have always sought closure by making meaning of the life of a loved one. And traditionally, we have come together with family, friends and colleagues, celebrating a life well-lived and taking the time to recognize the way that we have been so touched by another. With such a celebration we can draw the courage and faith that allows new beginnings and sense of purpose, knowing and feeling that the loved one remains in our hearts forever.

William Bridges wrote “Without an ending there is no beginning.” It is even more true today than when he first wrote about life’s transitions thirty years ago.

For so many, the lingering effects of 2020 have delayed their plans and not granted them that time to focus on a loss and help them move forward.

Today, more and more people are realizing that something is missing for them. They feel an ache and an emptiness that time has not diminished. The feeling of loss and sense of isolation demands action, even weeks and months after a loss. Those feelings have motivated people to carefully plan a meaningful and appropriate memorial service to honor the memory of a loved one. And it holds even more value for them as a result, because they are giving themselves permission to accept their grief and loss of closure by moving forward with a true celebration of life.
