We never think the last conversation will be the last. And then suddenly, it is. At Wildflower Funeral Concepts, we’ve had the sacred privilege of holding space for people in their deepest moments of grief and reflection. Again and again, we’ve heard the same few regrets whispered through tears — the things people wished they had said when they still had the chance.

On the anniversary of my friend's death, I'm once again reminded that we are not supposed to get over grief. Being an active participant in the rituals of saying goodbye with grace allows us to metabolize grief into something sacred and meaningful.
