In Remembrance of Sam Stern, December 2017
A truly caring community surrounded Sam during her end-of-life journey. Family, friends, neighbors, and caregivers all participated at a high level to offer round the clock care and loving presence. Dear friends and family created their own specialized after death care tea ceremony, washing, and preparation for Sam to lie in honor in her own home. A beautiful candlelight goodbye was created by neighbors in her co-housing community.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF STUNNING HOME DEATH CARE, OCT. 2017
We were deeply moved by this community who came together to help Dawn, a dying friend. Full Circle Living & Dying Collective was contacted by Dawn's friend in order to find out options to bring Dawn home after dying in the hospital. We had very little time to make this happen, but it all fell into place with the help of friends, and divine intervention. A friend opened his home for a 24 hour vigil. Friends gathered to wash and anoint her body while ethereal harp music was played live by another dear friend. An impromptu earth altar was lovingly created by the community including a sister and former husband. A cardboard casket was decorated by those who gathered for home vigil. Cremation was chosen and shrouding of Dawn's body occurred on the last afternoon. The process evolved naturally. The result was stunning and transforming for all involved. A generous donation was received in memory of Dawn.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND NATURAL HOME DEATH CARE, SEPT. 2017
Two of our Death Care Midwives guided this family in providing their own home death care for a beloved family member. This support included a ritual washing ceremony and 4 days lying in honor in her own home. The family created a personalized private gathering of community in the home and held vigil until they were ready to let her leave. On the last day family members shrouded her and held an honoring send-off with petals scattered outside in her own beautiful backyard. It was very moving to support this family and watch as they felt empowered to take this on themselves. Such beauty. Family and friends were shown the better way of doing death.

A beautiful cardboard casket was created by friends during her last days in physical body. Sacred Bridges caregivers provided end-of-life care.

IN HONOR OF MILLIE NAVARRO AUGUST 5, 2016
A loving community of friends and family gathered for the final weeks of Millie's life. Friends constructed a special end-of-life room of comfort that became a sacred space as soon as Millie entered. Friends and loved ones sat bedside with her for many weeks as Millie demonstrated beauty, grace and love for all who surrounded her. After her death, our Death Care Midwives guided friends in the ritual washing and preparing of her body to lie in honor in her special sacred room. In the following days other community members and traveling family members came to visit and experience the truth of what it means to die well.
A generous donation from Amanda Kenney in honor of her dear friend will help continue the education and guidance provided by Full Circle Living & Dying Collective.

We were happy to assist Betty Westman in remembrance of husband Blake Westman. We had the privilege to serve this sweet family in North San Juan by guiding a home funeral. We witnessed the loving care of a wife and dear friends honoring her husband with ritual after death care in the privacy of their own home. The loved one was able to lie in honor as long as needed. Much love and the presence of spirit assisted in making this a beautiful ceremony and sweet good bye.
