IN LOVING MEMORY OF
JOHN BERGSTROM
CELEBRATION OF LIFE ceremony
SUNDAY 24TH MAY 2026
Welcome to John Bergstrom’s Celebration of Life
We invite you to join us in honouring and celebrating the life of John — a man deeply loved, and deeply missed.
This online gathering is a space to come together in remembrance, connection, and love… to reflect on John’s life, the impact he had, and the legacy he leaves in all of us.
A LOVING MESSAGE AND INVITATION FROM NANCY
Many of you will know that John passed some years ago. And while time has moved forward, the journey of the heart doesn’t always follow the same path.
Between 2017 and 2022, I experienced the loss of five of the closest people in my life. It was a season that brought deep grief, and with it, physical and emotional exhaustion. What followed was a necessary path of healing — through reflection, meditation, prayer, fasting, and deep inner work. My body and mind needed time… real time… to process, to restore, and to come back to life in a new way.
I was not alone. I’ve been held and supported by some truly wonderful people along the way — you know who you are — and I carry deep gratitude for each of you.
There’s a powerful truth that says the body holds what we cannot yet process. I did my best, in my own time, to meet my grief… to honour it… and to move through it. And I can say, gently and honestly, that I am a better person for having walked that path.
And so… why now?
Because I am ready.
Ready to honour John in the way he truly deserves. Ready to gather those who loved him. Ready to celebrate his life — not from a place of overwhelm or survival, but from a place of love, presence, and wholeness.
I want to give John, and all of you who knew and loved him, the most meaningful and heartfelt Celebration of Life. One that reflects who he was, the impact he had, and the love that continues to live on.
Thank you for being here, and for walking this moment with me.
With love,
Nancy
Why I Chose Elizabeth as Celebrant
Elizabeth and I met in a way that feels to me, deeply aligned.
Her song, “Acceptance” is used to calm and ground people while in a meditative state during Dr. Joe Dispenza’s heart and brain coherence sessions that I am a part of. When I heard her voice on his platform for the first time, I felt a profound sense of grounding and healing move through my system... it moved me to tears.
Eventually I reached out to Elizabeth to inquire about licensing her music for another platform that I am connected with, and to my surprise, it fit our budget!
I then noticed that Elizabeth also specializes in conducting Celebrations of Life, and here we are!
It feels incredibly meaningful that how we found each other was through shared intention, healing, and heart based work.
