In this episode I answer a listener email question regarding death visits.
No two death visits are alike, so in this episode I try to cover some of the basics.
I cover some of the following topics.
- Call the funeral home as quickly as possible
- It’s not about you
- Don’t always be in a hurry to interject yourself
- Be sensitive to other cultures
- To stay or not to stay
- Post mortem care
- Clothing
Then I finish the episode telling several stories from my own experiences and some of the things I did well, and some of the things I didn’t do so well.
As always, don’t forget to call, text or email to leave feedback! I would love to hear from you!
