Funeral

[nailit]

Attended the funeral today, along with several work collegues, of a co-worker.
It was standing room only at the crem.

I was in touch with her (via text etc) up until shortly before she died.
Still a shock to receive the news that she had passed away as she was responding positvely to her care.
(She was been treated for bladder cancer but actually died from a stroke)
I was quiet close to her.

Life is so brittle....

Condolences Nailit.

On the plus side
(if there can ever be a plus side)
She had a Humanist funeral,
Lots of Rock music,
(AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Areosmith, etc).

Much better than some stuffy hymns.

As you say Nails "Life is so brittle". That is why it is precious, and we must enjoy it with resigned acceptance that it is not the for ever dimension. Try not to let the feelings of helplessness and sadness drag you down for too long ma mate and take pride and pleasure in what you have whilst you can.

On a Thursday afternoon,
It would just be me and her, and we would put the kettle on and put the world to rights...
(everybody else had gone home by then)
Miss my Thursdays now!

//A good send off then.//
her 'partner' had it down to a T.
Never been to an hour long funeral where the main music is Rock.

My mums funeral last year was a humanist one, but it wasnt for an hour and there was no AC/DC ???
