When someone you love dies, you begin to grieve.  It is very difficult to stay focused and communicate your needs during these times. My beliefs have helped me accept endings. I can be strong and clear and guide you during these challenges. We can work together in a simple and expedient way to create a service which speaks to your heart and comforts your loved ones.

Well-versed in many religious and philosophical traditions, I will create a sermon which reflects the deceased's attitudes and beliefs, whatever they were.  A non-religious ceremony is always an option.  If the deceased was influenced by many religious paths, we will incorporate them all into the service to reflect their unique spiritual life. When I lost my grandmother, she was not a member of a temple, so we hired the funeral-director's rabbi. He delivered a rote sermon which did not express the specific information we shared with him during his pre-interviews with us.  It was very painful for me to hear a sermon which did not reflect my relationship accurately, or my feelings of loss.

I will never forget that sorrow, and vow to be of service to you during your most challenging time.  I will write a sermon which will express your deep emotions of loss to help you begin your mourning process. There can be no beginnings without endings.  Life is a precious gift which could not be appreciated without the paradox of loss.  We will celebrate the life that was.  There is hope for us all in loving and supporting one another.
