Ruth Barber
Ruth Barber is the clinical team lead at Grief Support Tauranga, specializing in grief counseling and support. She has noted an increasing trend of funerals being conducted without services or ceremonies, largely attributed to the cost-of-living crisis. Barber highlights the psychological impact of such choices, warning that they can lead to disenfranchised grief, leaving individuals with unresolved emotions and a lack of communal support during their mourning process.
