The grief is expected. Someone you love has died and you feel the grief.  There is a lot to do but you can feel like doing nothing or not know where to start.  Mourning Time helps with the many arrangements which follow the death of a loved one.  We can manage all the details of the funeral day. Mourning Time can clean the house, do last minute shopping, set-up and serve the funeral luncheon, or make full restaurant arrangements.  We can help throughout the wake, shiva or memorial service. 
 
      As the funeral week quiets, Mourning Time can help again. We can find addresses for acknowledgement notes, notify institutions, organize financial papers and file medical claims.  We'll transfer a car title, donate it to charity, or sell it for you. We can help pack and donate clothing.  
      
      Housing is often a primary concern for a surviving spouse. We can help with arrangements to stay at home, or search for just the right next place. We can set-up the new apartment. 

      Mourning Time can help with the unveiling or other anniversary ceremony. We plan many types of memorials, including gardens, benches and scholarship funds. 
 
     There are different needs when the surviving spouse dies. Mourning Time can help with additional decisions.   Resolved family matters can unravel. We can help position the family for its next phase. 
 
      There are certain things survivors must know.  Preparing a list of information with one's family is a good way to start difficult conversations.  Mourning Time can help you begin. 

       We can refer you to careful movers, good realtors, financial planners, and attorneys.  

       Funerals have a history. There are rituals and trends. "Green burials" are starting and home wakes are returning. A preplanned funeral is a blessing to those left behind.  Mourning Time can help.

       We can meet with you or your group. Call Claire Weiss, Ph.D., at 617-264-2468.
