Oh... thanks so much for thinking about me, we had the funeral on Friday, and it was a really lovely service, everyone attended that she would have wanted to be there.
It was an ordeal, but somehow enjoyable at the same time, a family friend said such a nice eulogy, it was so moving, another friend did a poem that was very appropriate, and we had some lovely hymns at church, i dont know if you are familiar with them. (1) - I watch the sunrise + (2) - Do not be afraid.
In the crematorium we had - The Way We Were (Barbara Strisand) and then Amazing Grace, as everyone was leaving.
We then went and had a little something to eat and drink, which was nice for my Uncle to get to speak to old friends and family he had not seen for a while.
So now we try to get used to her not being with us anymore, its very hard for him, but we talk and laugh a lot, and time is a good healer and will make life more bearable for us.
