"REMEMBERING"
I Have Just Come Back From Going To Erics Wake........(Hes The Troubled Soul I Wrote About Earlier In Another Blog) Who....In A Split Second?.................. Shot Himself Dead In Front Of His Mother).................................And Im Not Ashamed One Damned Bit To Say That I Could Not Go InsideI Dont Get.... Or Understand .........The Understanding Of Having An Open Coffin Wake
In My Way Of Thinking?
If You Must Have A Wake?.....Why Must The Casket Be Open For All To See?
Is It Just Me That Thinks This Way Or What?
Wouldnt It Benefit Everybody......... If It Was A Closed Casket?........I Say This Because
Everybody Would Not Have Their Last Recollection Of Looking At Someone Who Is Not Here Anymore
Lying There...Dead
To Me(And Thats Why I Did Not Go In)...Id Rather Remember Someone
Of When The Last Time I Saw Them................... Alive
Thats A Much Better Last Memory Than Seeing Someone Dead...In A Box
I Guess We Are All Different ............When It Comes These Situations

I was not a believer in Christ at the time but thought, this is only a body the soul is gone.
Sometimes I think I should have seen the body (the police understood why I didn’t want to at the time) but then remind myself that it’s kinder for the mind to remember what the eye didn’t see.
I wanted to see my late husband but was discouraged to do so.
Don't feel guilty your last two lines say it
I , in my own mind , have always thought funerals weren t only for the deceased, but also for their friends and family to accept the passing of a loved one,
When my sister died her friends wanted open coffin
