“She can help them understand that everyone reacts differently to a death and we want the family to be very aware that if they have someone in the family (like that), we’ll be supportive and help point them in the right direction,” Gedert said.
“There may be that one person where it hits a little harder,” Gedert said. Gedert said Brown-Dawson-Flick will begin offering those sessions soon. Ogle, a licensed grief counselor, said her new role will have her facilitating grief support groups, which she said will soon be open to anyone in Hamilton struggling with the loss of a loved one. “I always felt like there’s so much more to help them through.” “It’s a very tough adjustment period for, and as a former funeral director, I always felt like we would take care of families and then we would get them to the grave site or give them back their cremated remains and then kind of send them off,” Ogle said.
Ogle’s specific role will be to reach out to families within a few weeks of the funeral as a sort of emotional check-in, a conversation she said is necessary for funeral homes that want to provide better comprehensive care.
