We may have heard about the stages of grief, how anger and denial are mixed in there somewhere, and we may have heard how the stages don\u2019t necessarily go in sequential order. But until you have gone through it first-hand, grief is just another word that starts with G. Losing a loved one changes you\u2014 but not like when you momentarily lose your wallet and get frantic kind of change. When you lose someone that has influenced the essence of who you are, you may, for a moment, even lose a piece of yourself. \u201cReal loss,\u201d as the late Robin Williams so eloquently put it while sitting on a park bench in <em>Good Will Hunting, <\/em>\u201cis only possible when you love something more than you love yourself.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>So what do people do, when that thing that happens to other people suddenly happens to them? What about the decisions and the deadlines, the picking up of the deceased\u2019s body, the announcements, and the arrangements? <\/em>Sometimes, grief can grasp so tightly that those in mourning need help getting out of bed\u2014 never mind picking out which walnut box would look best.To help with the difficulties of all the details, one of the first calls made immediately after the time of death is to the funeral home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a><strong>Funeral Service Directors: <em>Leading the Way in Leaving Legacies and Lifting Spirits<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>From there, it is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/glossary\/funeral-services-director\">funeral service director&#8217;s<\/a> responsibility to take the worry and weight off of grief-stricken survivors. Writing obituaries, overseeing personal wishes and worship, meeting with bereaved family members, preparing the site for viewing, administering grief counseling, and submitting death certificates are just some of the duties of a devoted funeral service director.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The above-mentioned accountabilities also happen to be the motivations behind students like Molly Vargo, navigating to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/funeral-service\/as-degree-program-outcomes\">Funeral Service program<\/a> at Goodwin University. \u201cI have always wanted a career where I could help people in some way,\u201d Molly, a fan of classical music, soft jazz, and binging shows like <em>Mad Men<\/em>, began. \u201cAfter the passing of a friend a few years ago, I realized funeral service was the right path for me because as a funeral director, you are the person taking in a grieving family and helping to lift some of the weight off of their shoulders. You are helping to take some of the pain away by memorializing their loved one and celebrating their life.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a><strong>The Connections, the Quiet-Time, and the Carefully Crafted Coursework: <em>A Few Reasons Why \u201cIt\u2019s Better Here\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Molly, originally from Milford, Connecticut, is currently a full-time student at Goodwin and is planning her internship at a funeral home in West Haven. \u201cI enjoy the relationships I am building with fellow students,\u201d Molly acknowledged. \u201cThere is a restaurant down the street from campus that we go to sometimes after class and hang out, talk, and grab a bite to eat. We study together before tests and share notes. We are able to connect, talk to each other, give each other advice, bounce ideas off of each other, and overall support each other.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cGoodwin also has a lot of great resources to help students succeed,\u201d Molly reassured, the most helpful to her being Goodwin\u2019s Hoffman Family Library. \u201cThey have sculptures of the human body and microscope slides to study human biology.\u201d Molly pressed on, \u201cThe library also has classes to help teach students APA format for papers. It\u2019s a nice quiet place to go and do work or study for exams.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When asked about the effectiveness of her instructors, Molly admiringly expressed, \u201cProfessors give us all the tools we need. They encourage us to work hard and make connections and meet other people that work in the industry. Our embalming class involves a lot of science and chemistry and in our business law class there can be a lot of terms to remember. Our teachers are able to break things down for us in a way that helps us understand the material better. I can confidently say my professors are the best I\u2019ve ever had. They are there for their students whenever we need help or advice. They help to truly prepare us as funeral professionals.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a><strong>An Occupation That Leaves the Light On For Those in Their Darkest Hour<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With the ultimate goal of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/enews\/how-to-become-a-funeral-director\/\">becoming a licensed funeral director<\/a> and embalmer, Molly also hopes to one day own a funeral home. \u201cBeing able to help a family process and cope with the loss makes it all worth it,\u201d she explained. When asked how she deals with the topic of death on a daily basis, Molly illuminated her point of view: \u201cWhile it can be sad and morbid, <em>we<\/em> see it as helping families who come to us for support in their darkest moments. We help bring the light back in.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Interested in learning more?<\/em> Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/landingpages\/funeral-service\">goodwin.edu\/funeralservice<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Grasp of Grief: How Mourning Doesn\u2019t Always Stop, Come Sunrise Molly Vargo- AS in Funeral Service &#8211; Student Success Story We\u2019ve all heard about grief, and not the \u201cgood grief!\u201d that Lucy shouts at Charlie Brown.
