Believing in the importance of a meaningful farewell as part of healthy grieving forms the basis to all that we do.
We have funerals for many essential reasons, including a means of expressing our beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about life and death. The purposes of the funeral ceremony can be summed up in the following ways:
Reality: It's hard to truly accept the finality of death, but the funeral helps us to begin to do so. At first, we accept it with our heads, and only over time do we come to accept it with our hearts.
Recall: Funerals help us begin to convert our relationship with the person who has died from one of presence to one of memory. When we come together to share our memories, we learn things we didn't know, and we see how the person's life touched others.
Support: Funerals are social gatherings that bring together people who cared about the person who died. Funerals are in remembrance of the person who passed, but they are for the living. The funeral is a special time and place to support one another in grief.
Expression: When we grieve but don't mourn, our sadness can feel unbearable, and our many other emotions can fester inside of us. Mourning helps us heal, and the funeral is an essential rite of initiation for mourning. It helps us get off to a good start and sets our mourning in motion.
Meaning: Did the person I love have a good life? What is life, anyway?
Why Do We Die?: There are no simple explanations, but the funeral gives us a time and a place to hold the questions in our hearts and begin to find our way to answers that give us peace.

Yesterday was a very lucky day for two cars on Riverside Drive around 2pm on Monday.
It was great some nice lady stop to help, even if it was to allow another person to sit in their car until the ambulance turn ups. Someone with a large first aid kit and large fire extinguisher.
There was "caring" from the person who said sorry a few times...from one of the cars that was involved. It was nice to hear.
It was good to see so many Police and Fire services with two Ambulances who came to help.
The sad thing I want to get to is how "dumb" are drivers who goes past a accident who doesn't slow down when someone with a high vis vest waves their hands to slow down the car/s just speed past. How many of you were those car who didn't know to SLOW DOWN?
I'm glad that everyone wasn't hurt to bad as being a first responder at the scene.
Hey please drive slow past an accident, if you have any skills please stop and help. Thanks to all the others who did stop to help it shows we do have a caring community.
Thanks Tony Gill

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.
