1 FEATURING PRODUCTS BY DOUG MANNING ' ve always loved the stories of the code of the shepherds. They not only took care of their sheep; they gave their lives to caring and protecting their flock. Each shepherd made sure that they had water to drink, a safe place to rest and kept a vigilant eye out for danger. In a sheep s life, there are predators who take advantage of their weakness and vulnerability. There are sheep dogs who are only interested in herding and managing. And then there is the shepherd who is a constant presence of security and peace. People who are in grief or life transitions need shepherds. They don t need someone to tell them what to do or use their struggles to their advantage. They just need someone who is safe, someone who will walk beside them and make sure they make it home.

2 Hospice, we've got you covered follow the complete program or purchase individual items to best serve your families step one: introduction to hospice A Journal for the Journey InSight has been a partner with hospice for over 30 years, providing aftercare books and resources that have been given to thousands of families. We have always supported and advocated the important gift of presence and comfort that hospice offers. While visiting with our hospice clients over the years, we have often heard that one of the hurdles in hospice care is establishing that relationship with the patient and the family so that they truly embrace and understand the scope and mission of hospice care. There are so many forms to fill out, so many adjustments and physical issues to attend to, that it is sometimes difficult to compassionately explain what this journey is going to feel like for the family. Doug s latest book addresses those needs. Presenting this book as part of the introduction at the start of care gives the family an opportunity to understand that this is not just about the patient, that their hospice is there to care for the family and to attend to their journey as well. With short chapters covering some of the questions and concerns that families might have, and pages to journal or keep track of changes or observations, this book can accompany the family through the entire care experience. It can be used as a stand-alone resource, but also is a powerful additional step to the InSight Program of Care that provides support and guidance for professionals, patients and families every step of the way. 48 pages / Envelopes for mailing available / See our website for quantity discounts $4.00 ea step two: funeral planning Building Memories Planning A Meaningful Funeral 3rd edition This Planner is full of the information a family needs to make decisions on how to honor and memorialize a loved one whether choosing cremation or burial. Recommended for individuals, hospice, churches, lay ministry teams, funeral professionals, or any one who is present with families as they plan this final tribute for a loved one. step one continued Hospice Notes Every patient and family present unique challenges in care as the hospice staff accompanies their path. Some families will need support and guidance in specific areas, depending upon the situation or history. Our new Hospice Notes are perfect for providing targeted information and support for each family. Never Alone is written for the patient, giving compassionate explanations about what they might be experiencing and what to expect. Complicated Grief addresses those families who present with previous losses or other factors which may create a more challenging hospice and grieving experience. It Takes a Family to Grieve a Loss provides guidance to families who are struggling to figure out how to incorporate children or other family members into the caring routine. Why Have a Funeral? can answer those questions that hospice professionals receive. Doug is a dedicated proponent of the healing power of gathering & ceremony and provides the family with reasons for beginning their grief journey in a healthy and holistic way.

4 Celebrants & Staff Picks 6 What Do We Tell the Children? Talking to Kids About Death & Dying By Joseph M. Primo One out of seven children will lose a parent before they are 20. The statistics are sobering, but they also call for preparedness. However, professionals of all types are often at a loss when dealing with a grieving child. Talking to adults about death and grief is difficult; it's all the more challenging to talk to children and teens. The stakes are high: grieving children are high-risk for substance abuse, promiscuity, depression, isolation, and suicide. Yet, despite this, most of these kids grow up to be normal or exceptional adults. But their chance to become healthy adults increases with the support of a loving community. Supporting grieving children requires intentionality, open communication, and patience. Rather than avoid all conversations on death or pretend like it never happened, normalizing grief and offering support requires us to be in tune with kids through dialogue as they grapple with questions of how and why. When listening to children in grief, we often have to embrace the mystery, offer love and compassion, and stick with the basics. 129 pages $15.99 Sacred Moments A Minister Speaks About Funerals Doug has had a hope from the beginning of his writing career of impressing upon ministers the importance of a meaningful, personalized and individualized funeral service based upon a family meeting and a partnership with the funeral profession. It is his belief that people in grief need sacred moments and they need compassionate and caring professionals who are willing to provide those moments for them. For clergy or anyone called upon to help families provide a funeral or memorial service for their loved one. Envelopes for mailing available 32 pages $4.00 A Funeral Celebrant serves by providing a funeral service, memorial service or tribute that is personalized and individualized to reflect the personality and life-style of the deceased after consultation with the family and loved ones and coordination with the funeral home.

A successful Celebrant is one who enjoys working with people, has writing and public speaking ability as well as listening and consulting skills. The Back Nine Life Beyond Retirement 2nd Edition The premise of this book is that everyone can make choices as to how to face living the final years of life, and he provides practical and personal suggestions for taking charge and living with intention, no matter the age. This second edition expands upon his ideas for caring for your mind, body, and spirit. This book is perfect for anyone who is facing these same challenges or for families who are trying to be a support for an aging loved one.
