Funerals can be comforting
Okay I know the title of this post will make a reader think "she's on the crazy pills!" but really when you think about it a funeral is a comforting thing its a final goodbye to someone its a nice thing where people get to mourn and that person is honored in a way which their soul is prayed for and nice things get said and you get to see how many people a person touched or interacted with through out their life. The last funeral I went to was like this amazing experience because it showed me how many people cared about this one human life it was touching and personal and in its own way beautiful.

I did something very hard today, I spoke at a funeral. I wasn’t close with the person whom had passed away but he was very close to someone who I love dearly. It was a very tiny funeral and when the priest asked if anyone wanted to say anything no one choose to say anything. I don’t know what the hell possessed me to do it but I got up and walked over to the microphone and I spoke. Seeing as I wasn’t very close or fond of the person whom had died I spoke about how terrible it was not to learn from death, and how every bad event makes us learn a lesson or reinforce a point that we have long forgotten. I spoke of cherishing what we have because you never know when people will pass on or leave us in some shape or form. When the funeral was over everyone said that my speech was beautiful and very appropriate for the occasion, I didn’t think of it that way at all. I thought of it as being able to reach people and give them a message that we all know, you never know what you have until it is gone. After I made my speech I felt at peace…with the person I loved dearly, despite how hard it was to say what I did. So tell people how you feel and do cherish what you have because it’s a far better thing to be able to say that I cherished the time rather then saying if I only I had cherished
Or when people suffer for a very long time and then finally they die, their dead can end up being comforting to them and other family members.
Indeed, we don't have to wait until *that* day to let people know that they are precious and held close to our hearts.
Everyday is an opportunity to knock on the doors of people's hearts.

thanks everyone it means so much to me for your comments especially on this topic. and also thanks for the support
That is so true, the last funeral i went to was my great uncle that we hardly knew but had great memories of him from out childhood, we got there to this tiny chapel at the graveyard & it was packed, we had to stand outside cus there was so many people there... his wife only booked a tiny place not expecting many people but it so many people came :} it was awesome seeing all those relos we worked out we hadnt seen for 8 years i think it was. my great aunt was very touched, she had no idea so many other people loved her husband so much that they would all take a day off to come see him off one last time... it was a very heartwarming occasion :}
