My vision of death is a cycle of life; yet its so hard to let go of our mourning however we all are mortal and our time will come in meantime sometimes sudden. It hit hard on me when my brother pasted away in 2004 soon after I got married. It was a tragic event however I know he's in a better place and I still do miss him. Just about 2 months ago my neighbor who is good friends with my fiancé. He who had just past in a major fatal car accident in Raleigh. I went to the funeral and showed my sympathy He and his fiancé were good people. Sometimes others think of me as TOO CARING and TOO HELPFUL I believe that there is a road for me to take and that its my job to be caring and supportive of others. |

I am a Christian woman, and I believe that death is not the end but merely a transition to heaven. I understand that emotions run high in this time of need, and how hard it is to make final arrangements for our loved ones. I believe in compassion and comfort for the survivors, while trying to make funeral arrangements as painless as possible. I believe anyone working in this industry should have a gift of mercy, and understand the pain that people go through at times like these. My fiancée lost his mother last year, and the funeral arrangements had been left undone due to the negligence of the funeral home. This time was painful enough and made it even harder for the family. |

It is my opinion not everyone experiences the same type of grief and mourning. There are a variety of contributing factors the may influence the way individuals react to loss (cultural background, religion, etc.) My own personal experience dealing with the death of my Father was quite different from that of some of my close friends and even relatives. I'm Spanish and have great command of the language, but I'm completely acculturated having lived in the US my adult life. My family in Latin America on the other-hand, spent more time deciding if my Dad suffered a “good death” or a “bad death” and whether or not he had gone to Heaven or hell. I had no choice but to be respectful of their ways. Me on the other-hand, simply spent my days reflecting on the fact I was blessed with the opportunity of loving my Dad to the best of my ability. In closing, when dealing with other people’s personal conflicts/personal expressions, I tend to use/exercise my intellect, my intuition, and most importantly my listening skills so I don't offend anyone. |

My grandparents both died when I was 15. From that point on I had many other family members pass away. Both of my husbands parents haved passed on since we have been married. His father just pasted last September and we helped with the arrangements, this was my first time being involved in that aspect of things. I understand the compasion you have to have in dealing with people when they have lost a loved one. I know how I want to be treated in my time of need and would treat others the same. I think you have to realize what people have gone through and experienced someone being sick and you being at the hospital all the time only to have them not make it. My father in law was in the hospital for a month and I went every day to help my husband. And no matter how long they are sick you still think they are going to pull through. We also had to make the decision to take him off the machines, I think that in itself is the hardest decision to ever make. |

Losing a spouse or close family member is difficult and in the first few days you are consumed with funeral and burial arrangements. After the funeral there are still many items that will need your close attention. Your funeral director may help you take care of some of these items as part of his service, but it will still be up to you to make sure you have all of the records available so you can receive all the benefits available to you. |
