Before we begin discussing this months theme of Yield to Your Grief Journey, I want to use this blog post to wish you a meaningful 4th of July holiday. On this holiday we honor freedom. Freedom is something that is very important to me. Without it, I feel stuck, frustrated, and bored. This is one of the many reasons I appreciate my work with Koch Funeral Home. F. Glenn Fleming, a funeral director and supervisor, graciously gives me the freedom to use my creativity as a spiritual director, celebrant, and end-of-life doula to find ways to support people around dying, death, and grief. As you honor our countrys freedom, I encourage you to pursue freedoms in your own lives as well.
