My great-grandparents died within a very short time of each other, so I was funeral-savvy at a very tender age. My dad passed away last June 30 after a loooooonnng illness, so we had time to grieve before his death. While Mom, my siblings, and I were at the funeral home choosing a casket, we got the giggles and started joking about things. The funeral director thought we were nuts, but he joined in, and we all had a good release of joy which continued on to the day of the funeral and beyond. Only the Lord could have brought us such a time of joy and laughter. And that's the way my dad would have wanted it, because that's the way he was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-91206449328844025052010-04-23T13:20:55.047-05:002010-04-23T13:20:55.047-05:00my first funeral was of a close family friend'...my first funeral was of a close family friend's son, just 2 years younger than me when I was in HS.

I have started ...My husband is a funeral director. I have started dating him in high school which is also when he started working at a funeral home. So I have been around death a lot. My mom died when I was a freshman in high school. That has been one of the hardest funerals for me and I still miss her dearly. Also my brother died the day after my first grandchild was born. I honestly think that he held on just so that day could be a celebration day for just her.<br /><br />My husband has always said that he would rather bury a child than to see the child have to go through loosing a parent. It is hard sometimes to think about in those terms, but in some ways I agree. <br /><br />I am just glad that my hope is in Jesus and that although the pain of death is hard to deal with here on earth, one day those that have accepted Christ as their Savior will be reunited.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03327592318037148763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-10668668945206383632010-04-23T05:51:57.339-05:002010-04-23T05:51:57.339-05:00I feel much the same way about funerals.
