On Seeing Signs

A typical sign that people associate with death is the red cardinal. A common folklore saying has reached many grievers, “When a cardinal appears in your yard, it’s a visitor from heaven”. Here, Casey Cummings speaks about the signs she notices since the death of her brother, Tyler. By Casey Cummings

You Have Everything You Need

When Frances Guardi arrived at the Center for Comfort Care & Healing, her life – at the end of life – changed for the better.

A Connection to Abbe

In memory of his wife, Abbe, Fred Tesch had a beautiful fountain installed at the Center for Comfort Care & Healing. The sound of the water that flows in it reminds him of the gurgling stream that runs through his and Abbe’s yard.

On Grieving

There is no way to describe grief in a simple sentence that would be easy enough for a seven-year-old to understand, and there is no way to put it that would give someone an understanding of what it feels like, and there is no way to prepare for it.

He Needed His Mom

In November 2020, the Conn family lost their three-month-old son, Austin, to terminal illness. In this honest and courageous piece, Austin’s mom, Karlie, shares her perspective as a way to bring some light and comfort to other families who may also be facing the painful experience of losing a child.

A Lesson in Kindness

When Bob Stosser was asked whether he was open to having a piece written in memory of his wife, Ann, who died last summer, he said, “It depends.”

Judee Thomas: An Angel in Heaven

Mike Jasinski and Sandra Ahrstrom describe their sister Judee Thomas as an “Angel on Earth.” She was a giving, lovable, and devoted woman of faith. After experiencing a miscarriage, and then losing her beloved husband, Fred, in a car accident when she was only twenty-four, Judee never remarried or had children.

Processing Loss

On July 16, 2019, Tyler Cummings, died in the Center for Comfort Care & Healing from a rare degenerative disease at age 17. To help cope with her older brother’s loss, Casey Cummings, began writing about Tyler, her hero and best friend. Here, Casey shares four vignettes and explains how journaling helped her begin to work through her grief.

Remembering Sarah

The film Grace + Gratitude documents the end-of-life journey of Sarah Livesey, who died at age 46 in the Center for Comfort Care & Healing. Two years after her death, Sarah’s light, boundless love, and beautiful way of being are still very much alive.
