She had previously worked as a nurse, and now she found herself dealing with and working in a mor tuary. Seeing the need for comfor t and resources, and wanting to help those dealing with grief, she committed to visiting the bereaving her mor tuary had served within the weeks and months following the deaths of their loved ones.
Realizing grief can be such a dark journey when traveled alone, Richard and Gloria carefully considered their options, and knew that educating their workers on the different stages and sides of grief was the answer.
The Myers' hired specialists to come in and speak to their social workers, nurses, doctors, funeral directors, and other professionals involved with the bereaved and found the training invaluable. Soon after, Good Grief was born.
Anticipating the increased grieving accompanied by the holidays, this biannual seminar brings it to a personal level.
With Fall leading into the holiday season, and Spring leading to Memorial Day, the exper ts saw the need to be pro-active and educate the bereaving prior to the times when grief can hit the hardest.
Still today, exper ts from the field of bereaving come and share their knowledge on the many different aspects of grief. Myers mor tuaries lead the way with their educated and experienced staff. They strive to fill the shoes and continue the walk Richard and Gloria Myers star ted so many years ago.
No matter where you are in the journey of grief, you’re never alone, and your always welcome to share in the Myers Good Grief series. For more information about the upcoming classes please contact a local mortuary near you.
