Debra Summer Celebrant

Debra Summer Celebrant My name is Debra Summer and I would be delighted to share your ceremony journey. Let me help you cel I have many years experience guiding life ceremonies.

I work closely with my clients to really get to know them, so that I can individually craft a meaningful ceremony to meet their needs and vision. My passion is creating meaningful ceremonies for all transitions in life: weddings, commitments, renewal of vows, birth blessings, namings, menarche ceremonies, funerals, memorial services, pet ceremonies, divorce ceremonies, and house blessings. I have

a number ways of working both face to face, and via email and phone. I begin my process with a questionnaire, as a way of getting to know you and your story a bit more. I craft each ceremony to reflect the uniqueness and story of the people I am working with. This experience is one to be enjoyed - just an easy unfolding process of getting to know you, and hopefully a process of remembering and honouring for you. Once I receive your feedback to the questionnaire, I begin to create a draft ceremony for you to start with. From there we continue to craft it until it completely meets your needs and vision. General Information
I am a full time celebrant - this is my passion and calling. I graduated from the International College of Celebrancy and also have a Master of Applied Science - Social Ecology

Grief, the Echo of Love

Grief is the tender ache
of a heart still yearning
for what it has lost.

It lingers quietly,
in photographs, old songs, and treasured memories,
in all the tender places
that keep their memory near.

Love does not disappear
when someone is gone.
It simply changes its form,
becoming a gentle presence within us,
a whisper in the heart,
a warmth that time cannot erase.

Healing is not
about letting go of love,
but learning to carry it differently.

We carry the love forward,
holding them gently
within the sacred spaces of our hearts.

Grief is the echo of love.
And where love remains,
nothing is ever truly lost.

Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you.

Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives,
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of color.

The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything.

Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being;
You placed smiles like flowers
On the altar of the heart.
Your mind always sparkled
With wonder at things.

Though your days here were brief,
Your spirit was alive, awake, complete.

We look toward each other no longer
From the old distance of our names;
Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath,
As close to us as we are to ourselves.
