Ritual is important in the early hours and days after the moment of death. My after-death care support includes tender rituals such as gently bathing a loved one with water infused with essential oils, dressing them in their favorite clothes, and laying them in honor surrounded by flowers, candles, and personal mementos. We might also play music, sing songs, and read poetry or scripture based on your needs and desires. Creating a shrouding ceremony can be an especially meaningful and loving last act of after-death care.
These rituals allow time and space to honor the person who has died and can inspire feelings of love, connectedness, and gratitude for those remaining, supporting the ongoing grieving process and helping to integrate the loss.
