 When planning a Showers of Love ceremony, understanding the timing is essential. Not only does this ensure a seamless experience, but it also helps grieving families or celebrants prepare emotionally for the event. A Showers of Love ceremony is far more than a ritual. It's an intimate journey of healing and remembrance, rooted in the Five Love Languages introduced by Dr Gary Chapman: Words of Affirmation, Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Quality Time, and Gifts. Designed with care and respect, it allows participants to express their emotions while finding catharsis. But how long does it last? The answer lies in the components that make this ceremony so special. Let’s break it down. The Reception: Setting the ToneEvery ceremony begins with a reception—a warm, welcoming period that sets the mood.
The Showers of Love Spa Care: A Healing RitualThe highlight of the ceremony is the Showers of Love Care, an intricate two-hour experience guided by a dedicated, all-female team known as the SOL Angels. This deeply personal process includes: 1. Guided Procedure: The SOL Angels narrate and guide the family through the final shower procedures, ensuring reverence and dignity at every step. 2. Shower Rituals: Starting from the head and moving to the feet, the full ritual incorporates:
3. Presentation: When the cleansing is done, the presentation will include Dressing and Make up for the departed.
These acts of service embody Physical Touch, Words of affirmation and Quality Time, providing a sensory experience that soothes and heals. Unlike traditional ceremonies, this unique approach encourages participation and allows grieving families to process their emotions in a supportive environment. The ritualistic aspect is cathartic, helping participants transition from grief to acceptance. During this session, Family is highly encouraged to take the time required for them to go through the process. A full session can take up to 2.5 hours while the Dressing and Make-up session can take anywhere from 1 hr to 1.5 hours. What Makes the Showers of Love Ceremony Different? Unlike conventional ceremonies, a Showers of Love event weaves together emotional expression and therapeutic care.
