In continuing with our grief resources, this week we are featuring Modern Widows Club which comes coincidentally on the heels of International Widows Day on June 23.

In Middle Tennessee, Alive Hospice is highly regarded for its quality of care and its intentionally built wrap-around services. Alive Hospice is all about serving its community in its deepest needs and this week we highlight their grief support groups.

Do you know what you want done with your body after you die?

I understand this is a bit of a gruesome topic, but let me just appeal to you for a moment. There is 100% chance of you dying.

Our intention with this series is to highlight what options you have when it comes to how you would like your body cared for after your death. When I met John Christian Phifer of Larkspur Conservation, I felt like people needed to know about this amazing option for burial.

In the final post of our “what can you do with your body” series, we want to feature Vanderbilt’s Anatomical Donation Program. This program utilizes your body after you pass for clinical training of medical students-“Voluntary whole body donations by generous individuals are relied upon as a resource to help physicians and other medical personnel complete their required learning as they prepare themselves to provide outstanding care for the living.”

Serving in the role of executor can be so incredibly draining. You’ve lost a loved one and now you have so many things to do- sell the car, call the credit card companies, find titles and deeds, send off death certificates…the list can build quickly.
