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.

I'm glad it went as well as possible. Now comes the hard part.. adjusting to life without her. You have a wonder attitude that I know will help you and your Uncle a lot!

I'm glad that everything went well. Your Uncle is very blessed to have you in his life. It will be hard for him to adjust to your Aunt not being there but, thankfully he has you!!
Personally I think that talking about her and laughing will help both of you to go through your loss. Hugs to you both!!! |

Diana, you have made it through the hard part, now you and your uncle are on your way to remembering all the good times with your aunt and adjusting to a new way of life without her, you are such a wonderful person to be there to help your uncle through this hard time. Prayers to you both.

Thank you Lynne, I am just that sort of family orientated person, but even though there are other neices and nephews, I have always been extra close (more like a daughter), to my Aunt and Uncle. He seems to be doing ok, suffering in his own way i think, but we do talk of her, and remember conversations etc. It does help, I am just taking one day and a time, i know time will help us.
