Entering the Summerland: Customs and Rituals of Transition into the Afterlife

All of us at some time will suffer bereavement. For Pagans, isolated from a community which shares their spiritual viewpoint of death and the afterlife, the attempts to express their grief through cathartic rituals is even more difficult. This work provides rituals for healing and passing, and practical ideas about dealing with grief, funeral planning and bereavement support. It also attempts to legitimize grief that is not yet acceptable to the larger society in which we live, such as mourning the loss of a pet or familiar.
