Self Care

I am convinced that self care is just as important as caring for others. There is this incredible responsibility when we journey with those who grieve, to love them, hold them and care for them. We care best when we ourselves have been cared for. This comes in many ways whether it be allowing someone to do something special for us or within ourselves when we discover what our best form of self care is. During our most difficult season of Grief, it is important to love ourselves so that we can project that love onto others.

As a Funeral Celebrant I am surrounded by Grief on a daily basis. And while I count it as an enormous privilege and honour to step into a family's sacred place of both grief and love, I too need space for self care.
