Take A Moment to Breathe

Following a death, it can feel as if there are a thousand things to handle. They can wait. Try to take the time you need.

When someone dies their body does not need to be taken or moved right away. Let the hospital or hospice staff know, and they should give you the time and space you need. You can also ask the funeral home you choose to have a moment with the body at their facility.

Taking an opportunity to be with the body can be a profound moment in helping to process the grief you’re experiencing. Take the time you need, and be gentle with yourself.
