I was doing ok until...
I was doing ok until... Well the day finally came... and we had the memorial for my sister.. I was fine.. I thought I was fine...Well.. turns out no.. I wasn't fine... I walked down the aisle of the chapel with my family and we had to sit in the front 3 rows on each side.. There at the front of the chapel was a huge picture of my beautiful sister... And beside the picture was a tiny urn.. with wheat on the side of it.. That was it for me.. I broke down and cried ..The minister had said it's ok to cry and that there's no shame in crying, but I was the only one crying at that point.. I was crying, and I could hardly stop...Eventually I did stop.. I didn't know it was going to hit me that hard, to see the urn.. and the ashes of my sister in it.. Of course, after that.. everyone else cried a little bit through out the service.. IT was actually a very nice service.. The music was provided by a guy who played 12 string guitar..I would have to say that the 12 string guitar is near the top of my favorite instruments.. It just has such a rich sound.. Relatives said little stories about my sister.. and I had submitted a story.. and my nephew read it for me... By the time we walked back down the aisle to go to the basment for lunch I had gathered myself and wasn't crying...I felt happier about that... The lunch was nice, provided by a nephew's wife.. I had been quite concerned that there wouldn't be anything there... but I need not have worried... So anyways.. the dreaded day is past.. My sister can rest in peace... We all survived rather well... My sister will be missed terribly, but she would have been proud to see how well her family managed.. So many sweet things were said about her..!! I can only hope my memorial is as nice when the time comes.. hugs from me Star.. I Looking forward to a good year ahead!! Stars_light4U |

god is not a murderer, yet he is a gardener, he has a world of roses he tends daily. when a rose reaches its most perfect stage god picks it to bring into his house to be with him

Having dealt with loss of family and loved ones myself, you reaction was normal and healthy. Holding in the feelings and not grieving can be worse. It does not let you move on. It sounds like you are doing ok!

It is OK to cry when you are grieving. I never lost it with my Dad until the hearse drove away with him in it. I choked up to the point I was losing my breath. I don't know why, but I was calmer with Mom but still had tears. There are times when a memory is revisited and the eyes tear up. When I attend a funeral, I often wonder what will be said about me when my time comes!

I am certainly no expert on death or grieving, but it always amazes me how strong people can be. To hear and see the people at a memorial, you see the love that the deceased shared, but especially the kind of person that they were to have been loved by others the way they were. It is also amazing to see those who attend that are grieving, like you, who have the capacity and strength to love so strongly. I know that everything we experience makes us stronger, and this has made you stronger, but I just wish it was less painful. Take care and all the best. Enjoy all those memories!!! The last few years she was espescially loving and caring. Instead of letting the pain make her bitter she just shared as much love as she could to family friends and acquaintances. I feel blessed to have known her. ♡♡♡ Looking forward to a good year ahead!! Stars_light4U
