Re: Mourning

[tabaqui]

I'm so sorry.

And...this won't help but...everyone does this differently, and you'll have to figure out what works for you. If you feel like lighting a candle - or a whole bank of them - go for it!

I, personally, find funerals repugnant. The corpse looks like a corpse, not the person I loved, everyone is fake-nice and seems to be trying to milk every bit of emotion from every person, and all the Jesus babble (especially when the person wasn't remotely religious) is off-putting.

We had a wake for my dad, *no* funeral, no viewing. At the funeral home (setting up the cremation), we all joked about why couldn't we just float him out in the near-by like and have a 'Viking' funeral. The funeral guy looked a bit taken aback, but that's how my family deals with things. Remembering the dead, telling fun stories, celebrating their life - that worked for us.

And our grief was private, and whatever it involved, it didn't matter, so long as it helped. So just keep in mind - you can't grieve *wrongly*, and don't let anyone guilt you into anything or make you feel bad.

I hope her passing is peaceful, and that you and yours are there to let her know how much she is loved.
