A local funeral home is going to learn that many things they told a family today regarding their loved one is against the law. California folks who aid with home death, please save look back to these in case you find yourself in the same situation. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuS81wRgW3x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o416fhuase61

Tomorrow I present home death care to my local hospice that I work with. If all goes well, workshops for families will begin on how to have a closer relationship with death and their loved ones by caring for them at home or at the hospice facility.

When mail comes in the form of @thegooddeath and @landisblair masterpiece. I must say the artwork is exquisite.

I have waited YEARS for this book to come to fruition. It is finally here, and I admit this is totally bookception because I am currently listening to the audiobook. Anyway, this book is @caleb_wilde 's pride and joy, and I have been following him from the start of my journey in the deathcare industry. Because of Caleb, I was able to find my voice and speak out against the things happening in the industry such as discrimination and unethical conduct. Because of Caleb, AIDC exists. Some people will never be able to know what you did for them. But I am glad and hope Caleb knows how much this book means to me and how happy I am to see it published. I ask that you go to your local bookstore or Amazon and purchase this. Caleb is a force in the #deathpositive movement and his confessions need to be experienced.

Ladies and gentlemen, May I present to you the newest member of the deathcare blog family @trowel_and_bone ! Krista is not only a deathcare sister of mine, but she's a freaking archaeologist! Go check out her new blog Trowel and Bone at trowelandbone.com

Thanks to @tremelvin , I learned this during Black History Month.

In Episode 5, we go over some commonly confused terms, a rather harsh obituary, and the NPR funeral home price investigation.

Episode Four discusses the death denial of 2016, alternative deathcare, and death positivity in 2017

In Episode Three, I discuss the ethics and professionalism a funeral service professional must follow.

In Episode 2 of the AIDC podcast, I go over the FTC Funeral Rule and the rights that consumers have when selecting funeral goods and services.

The very first and awkward episode of the Adventures in Deathcare podcast. Here, I tell you what AIDC is, and how to become a licensed Embalmer or Funeral Director in the state of California.

A friend posted this on their page last night. Behold, what I like to call the "Deathcare Unicorn". The Promethian is a sight to see, but it rarely comes out. Such a beautiful casket.

A flaming hot "Bag of Bones" makes me think of the end result of a fresh cremation, not Cheetos...but I don't doubt they're delicious. Image credit by Kevan Elkins

3 Tips to Help You Express Sympathy in the Loss of a Loved One by Suzie Kolber

One of the most difficult things for a person to do is respond to someone who has lost a family member, friend, co-worker or other significant someone. It can be an awkward time as you struggle for the right words to say. Here are three tips to make this situation easier for both you and the person you want to comfort.

Tip 1: Be Sincere

One of the most common mistakes you can make is to be insincere. It’s not intentional, but it happens when you say something you don’t mean. “I understand how you feel” is a prime example of this. If you’ve never lost a spouse, you can’t understand what it feels like for someone else to lose one. Even if you have been through a similar situation, you can’t pretend to know exactly how the other person feels. Everyone is unique and so are their feelings and actions. It’s much better to say “I don’t know how you feel, but I’m here for you” when you express condolences.

Tip 2: Don’t Advise

To be helpful, some people will tell you how to deal with grief. They may say you need to keep busy or talk about the person (or not talk about them), but this is not the correct way to express sympathy for someone. Everyone deals with grief in their own way, and you can’t determine what is best for someone else. If you want to be helpful, form your “advice” in the form of an offer. You can say something like “Give me a call if you need to talk” or “Let me know if you’d like to go for a walk sometime.” This phrasing puts the suggestion in their mind without telling them how they should handle their situation.

Tip 3: Silence is Golden

When someone has lost a loved one, others often feel they must say something. They look for inspirational words that will make the situation better. Unfortunately, you don’t have a magic wand to make the pain disappear, and in many cases your words can wound more. Instead, feel free to say nothing. Sometimes the greatest way you can express condolences to someone suffering from the death of a loved one is by saying nothing. You can just sit with the person, give them a hug or hold their hand. No words are necessary in times like these. In fact, the person may not feel like talking or they may not want to come up with an appropriate response. The quiet can have the most healing power. Many times, a person will avoid talking to someone who has suffered a great loss because they don’t know what to say. This is not the right response because that person needs to feel your support. You don’t have to be eloquent in your sympathy as long as you are sincere. You don’t even need words at all to convey your feelings. Just your presence can be more than enough to let them know you care.
