but decided to try and have the wake with the guy they banned from the funeral



because i think something magical will happen

There are no rights or no wrongs when in comes to grief. I find it is important for everyone to handle it in their own way.

The worst thing that happened to me was at my grandfathers funeral.
Our family is "different" as we tend to laugh even when things are bad. (Example, I thought my great aunt was crying ver hard during the funeral and she was laughing into her handkerchief....she has a nervous reaction to sad things and will laugh)
...andway, Mom and I went into the restroom in the vestibule and when we went for the door to get out, we ran into each other and I went flying into the wall. We started laughing so hard and had made a lot of noise. Then we opened the door there were a lot of people standing there staring at the door giving us dirty looks. We slunk into the chapel.

I've been thinking of scattering my husband's ashes on his grandparents grave in Oklahoma. It's hard to bring myself to do it, but he said he didn't want to be cooped up in a grave after he died so I think that it's about time.

you're wrong big_john ....nobody should stop anybody going to a funeral

hi ladyfingers ! welcome to the thread !



that was a funny story !...whats a vestibule?

Hi Gilly,hope your day was the way you and your friends wanted for your loved one.

I hate funerals personally.My own Mother's was dreadful as my stepfather had total control and my Mother's family were never mentioned.It was very sad for my daughter to see her grandmother buried with such hatred for the family.

I like to think that I can pay my respects any way I choose without the necessity of attending the service.I like to light a candle in a Church and remember loved ones in my own way.Or throw a flower into the sea.There are many ways of dealing with death in a positive way.

Just tonight my neighbour's wife passed away very suddenly and as Catholics in Spain I have to respect the way they deal with her passing.Toni will be interred within a couple of days.Such a shock.
