I'm sure you know this but your presence at her funeral was a huge comfort to her family. Sharing their sadness helped share their burden. That would have meant a huge amount to them.

Funerals are a time for grieving and celebrating someone's life. The last funeral I attended was my friend's daughter, she was 19. It was horrible I'd known her since she was a baby. She was killed by a drunk driver. I've never seen so many people at a funeral before, there were kids lined up around the block waiting to get in. it took me a long time to shake that day off. I hope you feel better soon, sweetie.

Sweet Girlfriend the last funeral i ever went to was my adopted mother's and I cried like a baby- surprised everyone-including my daughter- and it was soooooo embarassing I couldn't maintain myself- SHE was such a wonderful woman with strong maternal instincts. Tragically she kept giving birth to dead babies and so that is how I got adopted illegally because she wanted a baby to raise. My adopted parents supported a young pregnant teen until I was born- then paid her off- but then my teenage mother returned to make trouble and took me away- then after being bribed she brought me back.... Finally my adopted parents moved away to another house to HIDE from my teenage mother from hell... Oh what a trial I was for My Momma!!!!

Somehow, I tend to grieve a lot more for other people's pain than my own feeling of loss.

May I send a gentle hug?

Yes, Funerals are very sad! But, it is good to support our Friends in their sorrow as you do!!

I'll leave another, just because.

They are the down side of life, the only thing that is inevitable. Due to the line of work I am in I do attend more than most people as having been here for 25 years a lot of staff have been through here over that time.

Family wise we are a relatively small family so I haven't attended too many and my first was when I was as a teenager as my parents thought that too young when my grandfather passed away when I was 7.

I went to my uncles one in January and was in tears at the end due to the music being played at the end of the service was the same as what was played at my dad's and that brought it back to me even thought my dad passed 17 years ago.

This might sounds silly but they are good times as you meet so many friends and family that you never see other than weddings. Just like you my other halves family is part Italian so sadly funerals will come aplenty. Just hope we do not have to go to America regularly to attend as it will be expensive.
