How ready are you when something happens to your loved ones?

Funeral management courses for the Muslim community tend to primarily focus on the burial rites and management of the deceased. However, what preparations or care are offered to the deceased’s loved ones who are still around, and now having to deal with the grief and loss they are experiencing?

The Grief & Grave seminar is our Network’s efforts to protect and support the deceased, and the ones who are managing the deceased, for while the deceased is no longer in this world, the pain of their loss will always be etched in the hearts of those who are still living.

By equipping the latter with the knowledge and skills on how to manage their grief and loss, they might too realise that it is perfectly fine, and in fact imperative, for them to place their emotional and mental well-being at the forefront of their grief, after bidding farewell to the one they have lost.

  • The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief - but the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.

    Hillary Stanton Zunin
    Co-author of The Art of Condolence

  • Nothing that grieves us can be called little; by the external laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size.

    Mark Twain

  • There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

    Washington Irving
    19th-century author

  • When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

    Kahlil Gibran
    20th-century writer, poet and visual artist
