Dr G Humanist Celebrant
Hello
My name is Geraldine and I am pleased to say hello. I am a qualified Humanist Celebrant.
Who Am I?
My working title is Dr G, as I am a doctor of letters. I have a PHD in Trauma and Memory.
I also work as an artist and reminiscence facilitator.
What lead me to becoming a Celebrant?
My experience of working with people with early stage dementia for over 16 years and helping them and their families write their life story, using photographs, music and memories, made becoming a celebrant a natural step. I have helped and guided numerous individuals and families to write their life story.
What you can expect from me?
I will coordinate a meeting with yourself and your family and help you to structure your tribute to your loved one. Writing a tribute is a collaborative process but it can also be overwhelming at a time when you are experiencing the end of life trauma that is grief. I offer clarity of thought, structure and the ability to produce a ceremony which will have meaning to all that are there to celebrate your loved one’s life with you.
Celebrate a Life
This is an authentic, uplifting and deeply personal way to say goodbye, with warmth, honesty and respect. The act of choosing music, photographs and readings can bring back happy memories. It focuses on the life they led, the relationships and the memories they made. It can be a truly uplifting and cathartic experience.
