Move along just to make it through

[guardian_kysra]

I wanted to take some space in this entry to thank everyone that sent their thoughts my and my family's way. Thank you so much. It's enough to know that you are thinking of us.

Now. To recap the last few days. (You don't actually have to read this entry. It just helps me sort out my feelings about events.)

All in all, from the moment of his death to the funeral, it was more of a celebration of his life than a mourning of his death.
And that's the way it should be. **hugs** Everything sounded so beautiful, and your family is amazing. You're a very blessed woman.

This is the way every funeral in our family has gone as well. It gives a sense of love, togetherness and importantly, healing. If we remember with smile and laughter, then the tears heal instead of hurt.

*big, tight hug*

Love you, Sandy

Oh my God, Sandy, I'm so sorry. I haven't been paying attention to anything. I can't believe I missed that your grandfather passed away. I'm so so so sorry. You've always been there for me when my grandfather is sick and I haven't even... I'm sorry.

There are no words for something like this. All I can think is, "I'm so sorry." But I'm glad that your family was there for you and that you're all pulling through together. I know the fear but I can't imagine actually losing my grandfather. My thoughts and prayers are with you truly.

Again, I'm so so sorry for your loss. What else is there to say? But your entry subject says it all: Move along just to make it through. (It's kind of amazing how much that song has come to represent in the past few months, isn't it?)

I'm really useless at times like these. I think, however, that the poem your cousin's wife read is fittiing, excellent advice. "Do not stand at my grave and weep/I am not there/I do not sleep/Do not stand at my grave and cry/I am not there/I did not die." My thoughts,

I am so glad that things went well at the funeral. It sounded like a very nice gathering.

And you know I would have continued to stay up with you that night if I hadn't been falling asleep! For that I am sorry.
